story
98 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in the game is described as short and simple, primarily delivered through charming emails that add a light-hearted touch to the gameplay. While some players appreciate the sweet and relatable themes of finding purpose in later life, others find the narrative lacking depth and feel it concludes too abruptly, leaving them wanting more. Overall, the storyline complements the relaxing puzzle mechanics but may not satisfy those seeking a more complex or action-driven plot.
“This is a lovely game with fun, satisfying puzzles, an understated plot, and nice humor.”
“The story, which you receive through checking emails on your computer, is delightful and made me smile a lot of times - it ends very abruptly though and I wish it continued for longer.”
“Combined with an interesting short story about dealing with the woes and boredom of being in your winter years, and finding purpose in life through the little joys.”
“What little this game has that could constitute a story is unfortunately just as shallow as the puzzles are.”
“There are emails that push you into playing more puzzles with specific goals, but that's really all they are, goal lists, because the content of the emails can barely be qualified as a story.”
“The story is brief, the overall presentation is simple, and all of the unlockables are done after a couple of hours.”
