The story conveys a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, but many players find it lacking in depth and ambition. The plot is criticized for being overly short and underdeveloped, with minimal character dialogue and excessive grinding that detracts from the narrative experience.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“The plot is very short and not very ambitious.”
“Sadly, this is the only thing I can find any positives for about the game considering I've had maybe 5 minutes of actual dialogue with the characters, and the other 55 grinding trying to progress what should be the intro to a story.”
“After almost an hour of trying, and dying multiple times, I was not able to beat the second mandatory group of enemies to help branch out the story from more than three other maps, two of which had a few healing herbs that would be used up in a single normal battle.”
