  • story40 mentions

    The story in the game is widely criticized for being poorly written and lacking depth, with many players finding it unengaging and filled with plot holes. While the main focus is on healing animals and completing fetch quests, the lack of a coherent narrative detracts from the overall experience, leaving players wishing for a more structured and meaningful storyline. Overall, the game does not prioritize storytelling, which may disappoint those seeking a rich narrative.

    • “With such a small development team, it's easy to see they put their heart and soul into everything else about this game, but sacrificed the story in order to do so.”
    • “And honestly, I didn't totally mind not having a huge emphasis on the story so that it didn't distract me from enjoying healing the animals.”
    • “If you are going to put plot points into a game, it needs to be thought through; don't just rush over what should be something engaging and pile on other things.”
    • “The storyline is perhaps the worst written thing that I've ever had the displeasure of playing through.”
    • “First off, the story is absolutely crap; there are major holes and either unnecessary or rushed plot points.”
    • “They glaze over the story far too quickly and leave loose ends.”
  • graphics7 mentions

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their beauty and realism, particularly the main character, while some NPCs and certain elements appear less lifelike. However, a fuzzy filter and a need for further refinement in animal and landscape designs have been noted as drawbacks. Overall, the visuals are considered a strong point, with potential for improvement.

    • “Beautiful graphics.”
    • “The graphics are a lot better than most people are saying.”
    • “The nice thing is you can make the game very relaxing by exploring and enjoying the scenery and animals (great job on the graphics!) or you can go at it from the leveling up fighting aspect.”
    • “The graphics have a fuzzy filter which I found a bit annoying, and the storytelling was pretty bad.”
    • “If they would pull back a bit on graphical content and refine and polish the animals and landscapes a bit more, adding some color accents to the main character would help.”

    • “The music was beautiful.”
