story
10 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is minimal, featuring a brief, unskippable backstory inspired by Battlestar Galactica, but it lacks any substantial narrative or cutscenes during gameplay. Players are left without guidance or context, making it difficult to understand their objectives or the game's overall plot.

“There's a backstory in the intro (you can't even skip it); the story is 10 seconds long, and it's based on Battlestar Galactica, which isn't a bad thing.”
