The story is a brief and simplistic narrative that begins in a school and quickly transitions to a magical adventure involving a sentient rug and ancient gods. Players learn about a greedy king who sought the powers of these gods, leading to their decline and mankind's forgetfulness of their secrets. While the premise has potential, many reviewers feel the execution is lacking, with the experience feeling more like a short prologue than a fully developed game, leaving players wanting more depth and interaction.
- “The story it tells is short, simple, and sweet, delivering on its goals perfectly.”
- “You get a bit of narration like if you were in a prologue of a bigger epic campaign, you interact a bit with a magic carpet and get told about the world and your ultimate mission... but it's over just as it 'starts'.”
- “However, there are good production values here; graphics are good, the story starts out nice, and the voiceovers are well done.”
- “There were no puzzles, just an annoying sound and storyline that leads to nothing.”
- “No adventure, no puzzles, just listening to a story on how you need to save the world from an evil guy or something, but you don't actually get to do anything.”
- “It's not even a game, it's a 5-minute story and then it just black screens.”
