The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and progression, with many players noting the absence of a clear narrative, missions, or character development. While some acknowledge a minimal story progression, the overall consensus is that the game feels empty and overpriced due to its focus on mechanics rather than an engaging storyline.
- “I haven't dug into the story that much yet, but there definitely is a story progression to follow.”
- “At least I can't find any... also when I look for help on YouTube I get some Minecraft Far Lands stuff, no help and no storyline.”
- “No storyline or beginner tutorial.”
- “Summary: while this game has nice mechanics, movement, atmosphere, sounds, and crafting system, there's not much to the game. It's extremely overpriced because there's nothing really to do in the game except build a base against easily defeated enemies. There's no mission, storyline, character progression, or interactive world. This is not immersive; the ambience is good, although the nighttime is so much longer than the day, which is frustrating. Items degrade extremely fast, which doesn't reward the player for crafting certain items.”

- “It has a lot of potential but it's very buggy.”
