The game's story is largely criticized for being non-existent, with many players describing it as a boring walking simulator lacking any narrative depth or coherence. While some found the atmospheric world engaging enough to spark their imagination, the overwhelming consensus is that the game fails to deliver a meaningful story, leaving players feeling lost and unmotivated. Overall, the lack of a compelling narrative significantly detracts from the gaming experience.
- “The game world was atmospheric, and I found that as I wandered through the fog, my imagination was creating the game's story.”
- “If you are the type that can create your own story in your imagination, and you buy it for very, very cheap, then it might work for you as well.”
- “The story is non-existent, the gameplay clumsy, and the graphics predictably poor (GameGuru comes with an absolute ton of tree designs, yet this game uses a fistful at best).”

- “Find 2 keys in a map that is too big and fog-filled unless you've died of boredom beforehand; no story, no point. Games by this developer and released by this publisher are getting worse as time goes on.”
