The story is criticized for being bland and lacking depth, with minimal environmental storytelling and poorly designed settings. While some players find the experience of drawing and exploring relaxing, there is a strong desire for a more engaging narrative and improved gameplay mechanics in future updates.
“However, drawing pictures while listening to the story and exploring the surroundings is very interesting and relaxing.”
“Fix up the bugs (please add a jump button oh my god I got stuck so many times) and add a stronger story next run around, and I could see this being quite fun in the end.”
“The voiceover story is just bland poetry.”
“I hesitate to call the world well-designed, because there's absolutely zero in the way of environmental storytelling and the designs of the villages and general countryside don't make much sense.”

The music in the game is described as calming and enhances the experience of exploring the countryside, making it enjoyable to relax and engage with the environment. The addition of canvas painting filters further enriches this serene atmosphere.
“It's pretty calming just running around the countryside, messing around with the canvas painting filters (which is kind of neat, I'll admit) and listening to the music, perhaps with a drink by your side.”
