The game's story has received widespread acclaim for its captivating and engaging narrative, often described as a blend of mystery and mythology that keeps players hooked. Many reviewers expressed a desire for a continuation due to the cliffhanger endings, indicating that the storyline is both immersive and well-developed, with interesting characters and plot twists. However, some players noted that the game ends abruptly, leaving them wanting more and frustrated by the need to pay for additional content.
- “The plot is captivating, and the way the flow of the story is designed is really logical.”
- “The storyline is gripping - I just had to play to the end to find out how it would conclude.”
- “The story is compelling, the production of the game is top tier, and the unique way of staying true to the upgrades and customer system, whilst simultaneously reinvigorating the feel of it with Greek mythology is very entertaining.”
- “I thought this game was going to be a detective game, but it turned out to be a cooking game with a different cover. 'Serve customers within the time limit' is what was said before starting the second mission, before I was required to run around fulfilling requests. No, that's right, no detective work, but the story is about a detective/personal detective/cops, but still, it's a cooking game just with a different face.”
- “The story ended unexpectedly short.”
- “I really loved the game, played it the whole day, I love that it's not hard to pass levels so it's more about the story. I'm kinda bummed about the ending of the story, but overall still love it.”

The monetization model of the game primarily relies on ads, with players required to watch multiple ads before and after each level to continue playing for free. While some users appreciate the option to play without paying, many express frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of the ads, particularly when they hinder gameplay or fail to load. Overall, the game offers a free-to-play experience supported by ads, but the balance between enjoyment and ad interruptions remains a contentious point among players.

- “This game is too good! No ads or anything that can disturb you during the game. It's just great!”
