The game's story is described as abstract and whimsical, loosely inspired by "Alice in Wonderland," where the protagonist, Catie, navigates surreal environments in her quest to return home. While the narrative lacks depth and coherence, the vibrant visuals and quirky characters create an entertaining atmosphere that compensates for the minimal plot. Players seeking a colorful and strange experience may find enjoyment despite the simplistic storyline.
“It has a relaxing atmosphere and a nice simple story.”
“Wandering from one bizarre scene to another, all wrapped in beautiful visuals, one peculiar story slowly unfolds.”
“There will be many characters from the books of Lewis Carroll (and many that he couldn’t have even imagined. Although, scratch that, out of all people - he probably could), but the story set-up pretty much starts just like in the book - 'down the rabbit/cat hole.'”
“Didn't make a whole lot of sense and there really isn't much of a story, but it's colorful and strange, so if that's what you are looking for, then this is the game for you.”
“After that, there isn’t much story to speak of, as Catie simply tries to get home, traveling through surreal environments, one more bizarre than the other.”
“The surrounding world is so overwhelmingly odd (in the best possible way) that the lack of any serious storyline doesn’t even register.”
