The story aspect of the game is largely overshadowed by frustrations with quest mechanics and progression limitations. Players express disappointment over repetitive quests, bugs that prevent proper tracking of progress, and a lack of new content after reaching certain milestones, which diminishes the overall experience. While some users share personal anecdotes about the game's comforting role during difficult times, the overarching sentiment is that the quest system needs significant improvements to enhance engagement and enjoyment.
“I have the most adorable story I want to share about this game. My daughter was extremely sick with a stomach virus, and she couldn't get out of bed. It got to the point where she was sobbing and couldn't walk well. Nothing helped her, and I couldn't do a thing but watch. One night, when I came to give her a drink, I found her asleep next to her tablet. For context, she's been having trouble sleeping due to the pain, and when I looked on her tablet to see what helped her sleep, it was this game!”
“Thank you for adding a ton more challenge levels and creating an all-new quest line!”
“Great game, just waiting for more decks to unlock. I'm done besides the daily quests and challenges.”
“The quests are very repetitive; it needs to be fixed so we can use any of the cards for the quest or put the other cards in the quests.”
“The quests require unlocking new boards and buying new decks, and once all boards have been unlocked and decks have been bought, it is impossible to complete the quests.”
“What is the point of daily quests when you get nothing upon completion?”
