While the emotional aspect of the game is intended to engage players, the lack of complete animations detracts from the experience, as characters appear disconnected from their actions, undermining the immersion and emotional impact.

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of introduction and guidance, leaving players feeling lost and frustrated. Users express disappointment over the absence of a tutorial and a coherent narrative, which detracts from the overall experience. Many feel that the potential of the game is not realized due to these shortcomings.
“So much potential, but it lacked so much. There is no intro or story; I was just chucked into a blank arcade. There’s no tutorial or guidance on how to play. I got stuck even trying to figure out how to open the arcade, as clicking on the main desk and doors didn’t do anything. Hiring for the front desk is also not 'simple.' Honestly gutted. I'll return to see updates, but right now I wouldn't buy it as it's nowhere near 'easily playable.'”
“The story is virtually non-existent, leaving players feeling lost and disconnected from the game world. Without any narrative context, it feels like a series of random tasks rather than a cohesive experience.”
“I was really hoping for an engaging story, but instead, I found myself wandering aimlessly with no direction or purpose. The lack of a narrative made the gameplay feel empty and unfulfilling.”
