The game's story is often described as unclear and somewhat pointless, leaving players questioning its significance despite finding it endearing. While some appreciate the unique premise involving animals and outer space, the overall narrative fails to deliver a compelling experience, especially given the short gameplay duration of 20-30 minutes for a $10 price tag.

“It's a cool take on Laika's story, and I think it cemented my decision to get a Laika tattoo.”
“The game was kind of pointless to be honest with the 'story' (if I can call that a story after all).”
“At the end, it's not entirely clear what the point of the story was, and yet... there is something endearing about the experience.”
“Worst downside: the game is only about 20-30 minutes of gameplay/story for $10.”
