The story is a blend of classic fairy-tale elements, featuring a princess in distress and unexpected plot twists, but it often feels simplistic and illogical. While the visuals and music are praised for their quality, many reviewers noted that the narrative lacks depth and cohesion, with some finding it charming yet ultimately predictable. Overall, the story is engaging enough to keep players interested, but it doesn't fully capitalize on its potential for a richer experience.

- “Captivating, cohesive story.”
- “However, the story was interesting and kept me guessing; the art and music were beautiful, and the hidden object scenes were lovely to look at.”
- “The story is typical for a fairy-tale themed game (save the princess!) with bad voice acting and nice art.”
- “But what irked me most is that it was not really enjoyable to play; the story was rather illogical, and you had to run from here to there, picking up items that were more random than part of a thought-through narrative.”
- “Sadly, this summary almost encompasses the entire storytelling segment of the game, even though it had the potential to be so much more.”
