The game's story features humorous dialogues and quirky situations involving the main character, Himawari, who is tasked with distributing excess radishes, leading to various comedic events. While the narrative is generally engaging, some players have noted issues with text being cut off during cutscenes and the game advancing unintentionally when switching windows, which can disrupt the storytelling experience.
- “In between some levels, you'll find story segments with funny dialogues and situations occurring with Himawari and other characters.”
- “The story starts off with Himawari being given plenty of excess radishes from her mom and being tasked with just handing them out to people she knows, and some bizarre hijinks occur afterwards.”
- “This is fine for the majority of the game; however, some text also appears in that part of the interface during story cutscenes and it's cut off early due to character limits.”
- “When using another program like Steam while the game is in a story part, the game will still think it is the primary window. So when clicking on the other window, the game will advance the story, which can be frustrating.”
