The story is primarily driven by a fetch quest structure that requires players to engage with dialogue that can be frustratingly slow and stationary. While initial impressions may suggest a lack of depth, players often find themselves drawn into the narrative as they explore various locations and uncover more of the lore, leading to a greater desire to continue the adventure. However, the reliance on reading and the pacing of the story can detract from the overall experience for some.
“I enjoy finding the different locations and more bits of the story.”
“I have to admit that when I started, I thought to myself 'okay, another one of these,' but the more I played, the more I wanted to explore and the more I wanted of the story.”
“Don't bother focusing on gear progression other than your tree potato launcher as you can't advance without miraculously clearing the fetch quest main storyline with broken typewriter speed dialogue that you must be stationary to watch.”
“I started to work out a story developing right away - you are going to have to do a little reading to advance.”
“I have to admit that when I started I thought to myself 'okay, another one of these,' but the more I played, the more I wanted to explore and the more I wanted of the story.”
