The story has been criticized for its lack of coherence and depth, with many players finding it unengaging and repetitive, primarily revolving around fetch quests. While some appreciate the randomness and atmosphere, the overall execution is seen as disjointed, with poor character development and dialogue that fails to advance the narrative meaningfully. Many reviewers expressed frustration over the game's translation and artistic choices, leading to a perception of a hastily assembled project lacking in care and polish.
“I liked the randomness of the story.”
“There are a few different types of short 3D games within this game that are tied to the story and change up the feeling for the game for a short amount of time, which is nice.”
“I tried to beat it anyway because I wanted to see where the story would go and still couldn't do it.”
“The awful, awful translation, the random artistic decisions, the gameplay that seems designed to get you to stop playing, the story writing that mocks you for ever caring about it; everything comes together to this completely bizarre, absolutely unreplaceable mess.”
“It's clear the developer figured he was tired of this project and just threw whatever rough pre-alpha gameplay he had together into a broken game where whatever plot was being built up was also discarded.”
“Almost all the characters say one line of dialogue that doesn't mean anything and doesn't lead up or close their story, like that one guy who's the ship captain but in love with some witch.”

The music in the game is highly praised for its quality and contribution to the atmosphere, with many players expressing their love for the tracks and overall style. However, some reviewers feel that the repetitive short loops detract from the experience, especially when combined with frustrating gameplay elements. Overall, while the music is a standout feature, it is overshadowed by issues in gameplay and engagement.

“The music is really really good.”
“The style and music might entice you to buy into this series.”
“The style and music might entice you to buy into this series, but honestly, it's been a chore to play from start to finish.”
“The renegade humor that I loved appears in smaller doses, too, and you spend more time than ever wandering around to short music loops, wondering which identical object is the one you're supposed to interact with.”
