The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its absence, with users noting a complete lack of narrative and character development. Some suggest the inclusion of a playable story mode that could enhance the experience by following a character's journey, but overall, the consensus is that the game fails to deliver a meaningful story.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Perhaps a playable 'story mode,' which runs like a visual novel following Danya's journey to become an anime artist, with vignettes and story choices between painting levels.”
“There is zero story.”
“However, it lacks background, characters, and story.”
