The game's story is described as cute and enjoyable, with many players appreciating its charm despite its brevity and some bugs. While the narrative is delivered through environmental storytelling and collectibles, some reviewers express a desire for a more developed, non-linear storyline with dialogue and varied endings. Overall, the story complements the gameplay, providing a satisfying experience, though it may not be the main focus.
“Fun game achievements work, what's not to like? I would recommend it to anyone of any age; good storyline too.”
“A sweet, beautifully created mini story game. It took me 10 minutes to finish, but it's honestly quite sweet. I hope the devs decide to expand on this if they enjoyed making it in the future!”
“Good fun and a great storyline :)”
“The story takes a back seat to the gameplay, though, which involves the character having to navigate through a series of thinly-veiled levels.”
“The only part where Adapta Solva dropped the ball a bit was with the story and its delivery, especially with the last mural not being too clear if you haven't found some secrets.”
“The story is told by way of wall paintings and other props throughout the game.”
