  • story5 mentions

    The game's story is minimal, primarily revolving around a classic "rescue a loved one" plot. Players noted that the initial cutscene is easily missed due to loud audio, leading to a desire for a more developed narrative, particularly regarding the character being rescued.

    • “I would have loved to see more storyline with the other alpaca you are trying to save!”
    • “There isn’t much story to speak of as it is the classic ‘rescue a person you care about’ setup.”
    • “Lastly, starting into the game with a story elemental cutscene means that everyone will miss it, because the game starts for the first time, the sound is incredibly loud so you'll tab out and reduce the volume and by the time you're done, the cutscene will be done as well.”
