The story aspect of the game has received largely negative feedback, with many players feeling disconnected from the narrative and finding it dull and unnecessary. The brief glimpses into the dreamers' stories are perceived as poorly integrated and lacking impact, leading some to prefer a gameplay experience without any story elements. Overall, the narrative fails to engage players or enhance the gameplay.
- “I recommend Dream Catcher: Prologue to players interested in the finished game and/or a casual puzzle and story experience, particularly if they want to get involved in development.”
- “However, I just did not care for any of the narrative and story side; I personally could not connect with it (it didn't grab me).”
- “The 'story' is just dull and unnecessary.”
- “The items don't really feel like they fit with what the story says the dreams are about, and since the dreams and story snippets don't seem to affect anything else, they feel shoehorned in.”
