The game's story is characterized by an open-world, role-playing focus with active storytelling elements, allowing players to immerse themselves in their characters' backstories. However, some users find the narrative execution lacking, with random quests and simplistic plotlines that can detract from the overall experience. While the potential for rich storytelling exists, the randomness and perceived low quality of certain elements may leave players feeling disappointed.
“It's open world, roleplay focused with active storytellers.”
“Yes, this is really important in a game where you just need to get used to the role of your characters, and any of your content described in a beautiful and long or simple, but concise backstory will be recreated by the developers.”
“The story of this update is as follows - my character named Sprout in the background had a house in a hollow tree (it just so happened that he was born a fairy - do not judge him strictly, we do not choose who to be born :)) and, of course, there was no such location on the world map.”
“Once you do that, a quest appears but it's random, so you probably won't be able to do it.”
“Mine was to build a limestone altar and sacrifice blue mountain flowers to a god for favor (very dumb idea for a story start, by the way).”

The game's stability has been criticized for numerous bugs and glitches, particularly in its early stages, affecting gameplay elements like controls and resource gathering. However, some users have noted improvements in performance and frame rates after recent optimizations, suggesting potential for better stability in the future.
“This game is so buggy and bad.”
“That tells you how bad it is if I can find glitches like this in the first minute of play.”
“Being a build in progress, there are glitches and issues, from keys and controls not responding at times to rocks or trees not giving materials (or giving large amounts).”

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing stable performance on lower-end machines, achieving around 40 frames per second. However, many others report significant issues, including severe frame rate drops and bugs that hinder gameplay, indicating that optimization remains a major concern for a substantial portion of the player base.
“It would seem that it could go positively, but the next day the team leader writes to me personally that they fixed everything with optimization and to my surprise, on my weak machine with a video card with 4 gigabytes of video memory, I found stable 40 frames per second without freezes.”
“Let's start with the most important aspect that worries most people and brought the game negative reviews - optimization.”
“Looks interesting, made for pure role-playing, lore nerds...if you can get past the four frames per second, getting stuck in the ground in a poorly optimized shack in the middle of the woods.”
“Everything's so terribly slow due to insanely poor optimization.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its beauty and relaxing qualities, particularly in the start and main menu. However, some players feel that the overall game experience does not match the quality of the music.
“The music was beautiful on the start screen.”
“The main menu music is very relaxing.”
“The music is really good.”
“On the discussion page, a developer told me I don't 'have to' have Discord to play the game, but it's easier for them to 'interact with players' as the game doesn't have an in-game chat feature at the moment. However, I should know that 'music' means a 'god' is online and they are needed to get things done.”

The graphics have been criticized for being blurry and causing players to experience glitches, such as falling through the map and into water, which detracts from the overall gameplay experience.
“You go to move towards a tree and you fall through the map into water. I found a way out and got out of the graphics, but then I fell through the map again back into the water.”
“Graphics are blurry.”
