Critics lauded the game's narrative. Edge considered it "a superlatively told work of crime fiction."[34] Kimberley Wallace of Game Informer wrote that the "fragmented" delivery of the story "works to its benefit".[47] She appreciated the subtlety of the narrative, and the ambiguity surrounding the ending.[47] Polygon's Megan Farokhmanesh noted that Her Story "nails the dark, voyeuristic nature of true crime".[52] Chris Schilling of The Daily Telegraph was impressed by the coherence of the narrative, "even when presented out of order".[57] Eurogamer's Simon Parkin found the effects of the narrative to be similar to well-received HBO thrillers, particularly in terms of audience attention.[60] Stephanie Bendixsen of Good Game was disappointed that large plot points were revealed early in the game, but attributed this to the uniqueness of each players' experience.[61]
