The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it initially engaging but ultimately feeling disappointed by the lack of meaningful choices and character agency. While the worldbuilding and character depth are praised, many feel that the narrative is too linear and forces players into predetermined paths, undermining the potential for a truly immersive choose-your-own-adventure experience. Overall, the story captivates with its vibrant setting and intriguing premise, but fails to deliver on player autonomy and emotional investment.
“The story is pretty fun, and you have to love a world where humans are the aliens and interdimensional portals can be opened, with equal aplomb, by mystical runes, lines of precise code, rock-and-roll rhythm, or any combination thereof.”
“The story goes to great pains to paint vivid pictures of the two alien worlds and even without the aid of images or audio cues, I felt that the setting was fully realized and shown in amazing detail.”
“There is an unforgettable cast of characters and you'll feel real feelings for them if you allow yourself to be enveloped by the story, as I like to do.”
“A story in which your choices as the main character do not matter. At the beginning, the story seemed engaging, but after the betrayal of the members of the circle to which the main character belongs, I felt discouraged with the characters and tried to distance myself from them. The narrative constantly told me how much my character feels like a part of the crew, while I felt unhappy in their company.”
“I was never asked once if I was willing to go on any of these missions, and save for one time, I was never given the option to not do them.”
“It's misleading and it railroads the storyline.”
