Reception

A reviewer for Next Generation commented that "Although in some ways it's a bit basic compared to its competition, Bureau 13 has enough originality to make it worth a second look." He gave it two out of five stars.[4]
Retrospectively, Richard Cobbett of PC Gamer opined "Bureau 13 is a really dumb game with some clever ideas - one of the kind that doesn't actually work, but really should have," having "the clumsiest interfaces ever inflicted on the world, and one of the dullest worlds."[5]
