The story is generally praised for its emotional depth, lovable characters, and engaging writing, complemented by a charming art style. However, some players express a desire for an endless mode to continue gameplay after the main plot concludes, and there are suggestions for further development and expansion of the storyline. While the narrative is heartwarming and well-crafted, a few reviewers noted that the dialogue could be improved and that the game ends somewhat abruptly.
“Really fun game with lovable characters, a compelling story, and a delightful art style.”
“The art style is so cute and unique and the story is very heartwarming and well written.”
“I love the art style and the short story that goes along with it :) this is a very high quality game and you can tell the team put in a lot of effort.”
“It was really fun and appropriately challenging; I feel like it would be better if there was a mode where I could just play the game without the storyline so that it's still playable even after the plot finishes.”
“Story/dialogue could be better though.”
“I would love to see this game with a fully fleshed out story where Robin restores the B&B (and the tree) to its former glory and eventually have an endless mode unlocked.”
