The story is criticized for being shallow and simplistic, with basic RPG mechanics and a cluttered inventory system that hampers gameplay. Quests are often buggy, leading to issues with item retrieval and unclear objectives, which can result in soft-locks and hinder progression. Additionally, the introduction of a chat-bot interface to manage narrative elements has not been effective, as it frequently fails to register quest completions properly.
- “The attempt to introduce a chat-bot interface to replace a menu-driven narrative sometimes does not register quest completions.”
- “A shallow story matches very basic RPG mechanics and a rudimentary inventory full of clutter, but not much carry capacity from floor to floor.”
- “Its quite possible that even though quest completion dialogue is shown, vital items are not taken or given, resulting in soft-locks and the inability to progress.”
- “A lack of hand-holding can make quest objectives seem unclear.”
