The story is criticized for its abrupt introduction, lacking the dynamic needed to engage players, which leads to a sense of boredom rather than excitement. While the steampunk setting and lore are appreciated, the narrative is described as average, and players are cautioned that the initial purchase only covers the first chapter, requiring additional investment for the complete experience. Despite these issues, there is some intrigue about the story's progression, especially given the game's long development time.
- “This game has a nice story, and the world is beautiful.”
- “Steampunk world and story.”
- “The combat is actually more fun than I expected, and I'm interested to see where the story goes, especially since this game has been ten years in the making.”
- “The way you are introduced to the story is bad; you are thrown into it, but since it lacks proper dynamics (which should be present in such cases), it makes you feel bored instead of excited.”
- “The tempo suggests that it should have been a more gradual introduction to the characters and the world, which would have made it more realistic to present the main story as the 'beginning of another job.'”
- “A bit of lore, an average story.”
