The story revolves around a personal quest to uncover the fate of the protagonist's missing parents, featuring four missions of varying lengths and the potential for player-driven choices, including allegiances and a romance option. While the narrative is fast-paced and the characters are reasonably developed, many players express disappointment with the abrupt ending and lack of payoff, leaving the story feeling incomplete and in need of a sequel. Overall, despite its intriguing elements, the story's conclusion leaves much to be desired.
“Have a personal quest to find out what happened to your missing parents.”
“A relatively short story, but I found it satisfying.”
“The characters were decently developed, and the story was fast-paced.”
“There's no second game in the series released as of yet, so you get through the plot only for it to end abruptly, with no payoff.”
“While the story promises to go in a number of interesting directions with the player choosing between multiple allegiances, there is little in the way of payoff.”
“There's a romance option that asks how you feel about a character you literally know nothing about and haven't met in the story yet.”
