The game's story is criticized for its lack of introduction and context, leaving players feeling lost in a blank arcade environment without guidance or tutorials. Many users express disappointment over the absence of a coherent narrative, which detracts from the overall experience and makes gameplay frustrating.
- “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, and I got stuck trying to figure out how to open the arcade. Clicking on the main desk and doors doesn't do anything. Hiring for the front desk is 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.'”
