The game's story is criticized for lacking depth and development, particularly regarding the individual storylines of crewmembers and potential alternate scenarios, which could have enriched the narrative experience. Players feel that additional unique upgrades and expanded plotlines would significantly enhance the overall storytelling.
“The game could have vastly improved itself if it had fleshed out many things like the other crewmembers' storylines, additional upgrades, upgrades unique for each crewmember, and additional storylines such as what would have happened if the investors hadn't received their investment in time.”
