The story is generally praised for its intriguing time loop concept and engaging characters, though some plot threads remain unexplained and could benefit from further elaboration. While the main narrative is cohesive and enjoyable, it may not be compelling enough to sustain interest without the support of gameplay and side quests. Overall, the story is seen as a strong aspect, complemented by great audio, but it has room for improvement in clarity and depth.
“A great story in an interesting world with delightful characters.”
“I was very pleasantly surprised by the story.”
“The time loop story is surprisingly cohesive, but there are a few details that needed more elaboration.”
“This does lead to some unexplained plot threads, like how the loop restarts despite how Eldar is not guaranteed to meet Yvlor in every loop.”
“The time loop story is surprisingly cohesive, but there are a few details that needed more elaboration, like loops where the journey stops prematurely.”
