The game lacks a coherent story, with minimal narrative provided only on the store page, leaving players without context or understanding of the RPG elements and controls. This absence of storytelling and guidance results in a disjointed experience for players.
“There's also no story in the game itself.”
“There is no story other than what is mentioned on the store page. The importance of RPG elements or how they work is never explained, and there's no mention of controls (you need to have read the manual beforehand). You will have no idea about how the game's features work.”
“The narrative is completely absent, leaving players without any context or engagement.”
