The story aspect of the game features a limited amount of content, primarily focusing on survival elements and quests involving combat against wolves and bandits. However, players note a robust quest list that offers a variety of activities for solo players to engage with.
“There is not much content, yet a variety of places and some quests to do, like killing wolves and bandits for survival.”
“It looks like there is a beefy quest list for the solo player to find things to do.”
