The story aspect of the game is seen as needing significant improvement, with calls for updates to the storyline and additional missions to enhance engagement. While there are various modes, including a sandbox story mode and scenario sandboxes that serve as tutorials, the narrative itself is minimal and primarily serves to prepare players for the more open-ended gameplay in the upcoming "second life" feature. Overall, the story lacks depth and polish, making it challenging for players unfamiliar with the mechanics.
“The 3 scenarios are good to play to help prepare you for what you will need to do in the story mode.”
“There are a few different modes to the game as well, a sandbox story mode and 3 scenario sandboxes.”
“It needs polishing, tuning, and a storyline update.”
“There is little story, as most of it consists of tutorials for when the 'second life' (the sandbox part of the game) gets released.”
“Story mode can be challenging and unforgiving if you don't know what you're doing.”

Gameplay is marked by a mix of potential and frustration, with some users noting significant bugs and mechanical issues that can disrupt the experience. Despite these challenges, the game shows promise within its genre, drawing comparisons to similar titles while maintaining its unique identity. Players are encouraged to overlook these early access shortcomings as the game develops.
“I was able to overcome the problems; I can see this game becoming something big in its genre. It has elements of other drug games (Weedshop, Basement), but I think it stands out on its own far more. Sure, the controls are frustrating at times, and some of the gameplay still needs to be ironed out, but you really have to look past the little things in an early access game.”
“A few lingering bugs (some minor... some majorly annoying), sometimes mechanics just decide to break and the physics need attention for sure.”
