While the narrative attempts to explore themes of morality through a destructive quest for apples, it ultimately does not enhance the overall experience due to underlying issues.
- “The story is vague and could theoretically be non-existent, but if I have to be honest, it wouldn't have saved the game anyways due to some surprisingly apparent issues within it.”
