The story is generally well-received, with players appreciating its complexity and the educational elements woven into the main and side quests, which explore various aspects of society in 79 AD. However, some reviewers feel that the narrative and character development could be more elaborate, as many quests tend to revolve around simple fetch tasks. Overall, while the story offers engaging content, there is a desire for deeper storytelling and character interaction.
- “I very much enjoyed the story and was impressed that each area's puzzle was as complex as it was, being multi-step and not simply a quick solve.”
- “Even if you just run around, do quests and have fun – you'll definitely learn something and be surprised about how advanced people were in 79 AD!”
- “The story, characters, and puzzles could have been more developed and elaborate; instead, we're mostly just getting fetch quests from NPCs.”
- “Six main quests and a bunch of optional side quests teach you about many different subjects: how society was organized, which food got prepared and served, how politics in the forum worked, what people wore... the list goes on.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with users appreciating its variety and how it complements the game's atmosphere and setting. However, there is a notable lack of volume control options, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite this, the music effectively enhances the gameplay and contributes to an engaging environment.
- “The art especially and music create a nice atmosphere, and I liked how the history is blended into the tasks—you learn little things without it feeling like a lesson.”
- “My biggest gripe with the game was just that there are no volume controls, aside from turning music and sound on/off.”
- “It would be great if the game had a sound adjustment feature so you could lower the music. The game took me about 2.5-3 hours to thoroughly enjoy and attempt to 100%, and is well worth the price point in my opinion.”
- “The music is varied and – for the most part – works well with the setting.”
