The story of the game is described as fun and engaging, featuring lovable characters and entertaining puzzles, though it is relatively short, taking about five hours to complete. While players appreciate the vibrant world and character development, many express a desire for a more expansive narrative and additional content.

“My biggest issue with the game is that the water wheel puzzles refuse to work for some VR headsets. I was able to find a fix by using both my hands for the wheel, but by the time I got the puzzle done, I had around 80% of all available things completed, and the story felt kind of wack because of it.”
“Worth it for the price, but I just wish it had a bigger story.”
