The game's story is minimal but requires players to engage with it, particularly during boss encounters where repeated deaths lead to hearing the same narrative segments multiple times. Players recommend the addition of a skip button for improved quality of life, while also noting that the intro is essential for understanding the plot. Overall, the story is integrated into achievements, ensuring players experience it regardless of their choices.
“There is a small story in the game; if you would like to know what is going on, don’t skip the intro when you start the game!”
“If you keep dying on a boss, you have to hear his story again and again. A skip button shouldn't be too hard to implement in a new version and would be a nice quality of life feature.”
“There is a small story in the game; if you want to understand what is going on, don't skip the intro when you start the game.”
