The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of clarity and support, making quests and crafting feel overwhelming and poorly executed. While it offers a nostalgic and humorous tone, the overall experience is marred by bugs and confusion, leading to frustration rather than engagement. Many players hope for improvements through community support in the future.
- “Bottom line: Storymode has a good sense of nostalgia and humor.”
- “The menus are littered with options to do, the crafting menu is laid out so poorly that I don't know what to do, and the quests are so badly done that I often wonder what the point of them even are.”
- “It would be more likely that I end up never completing a quest or crafting an item.”
- “Perhaps one day, with much community support, Storymode will become more a game and less an exercise in community frustration.”

The game's humor is described as quirky and reminiscent of titles like Downwell and Undertale, appealing to fans of witty dialogue and funny monster/item names. However, some players find the humor inconsistent, with forced memes detracting from the experience, and overall, the game's clunky mechanics overshadow its comedic elements. Despite these criticisms, the story mode offers a nostalgic and humorous touch.
- “Simply put, if you played a game like Downwell or Undertale and you liked the dialogue and humor feel of the game, you're going to like this game.”
- “It is humorous and does its job of being a rogue-like game.”
- “+ funny names for monsters & items”
- “The humor in this game feels forced and unoriginal, making it more annoying than funny.”
- “I found the jokes to be stale and lacking any real wit, which detracted from the overall experience.”
