The story is described as whimsical and scattered, appealing to fans of nonsensical narratives, though many reviewers found it lacking coherence and depth. While some appreciated the subtle storytelling and character details, others criticized the shallow plot and inconsistent translations, suggesting that a more structured narrative could enhance the experience. Overall, the game offers a laid-back, story-rich environment, but opinions vary on its execution and depth.
“The story sets in the same universe as Sunset Routes, but will take some effort to reach its endings and unlock the necessary pieces of information.”
“I especially like the subtle way of telling the story and showing the world.”
“This is a laid-back yet story-rich game in a world of demi-humans, humans, and geese.”
“I couldn't really tell you what the main plot is because so much happens with little explanation, but it's just silly to go through.”
“The story's shallow, and the English translation is inconsistent at times (it's hard to tell who is a 'he' or 'she' depending on the scene).”
“I feel if there was a genuine plot to go on with this idea and the materials used, it could've been a much better experience.”
