The story is primarily viewed as a series of fetch quests lacking depth, with a moral about perseverance woven throughout. Players express a desire for a more structured narrative, such as a dedicated story mode, and suggest the inclusion of a rewards system to enhance engagement. Overall, while the core message is relatable, the execution feels repetitive and underdeveloped.
- “Moral of the story, you never know what life holds in store for you, and if I would have given up when all the odds were stacked against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “If you're committed enough, you can make any story work.”
- “It is mostly just a compilation of fetch quests disguised as a game.”
- “The only thing I wish it had was a rewards system for when you complete a mission.”
- “Here's a suggestion for another possible game mode: a story mode of some sort for the single player, where you're hosting a BBQ for the neighborhood and you must make sure the house is in top shape before guests arrive, so you do stuff like the dishes and mow the lawn under a time limit before they arrive.”
