The story aspect of the game is seen as a mixed bag; while players appreciate the inclusion of a narrative involving teaching a language model to translate cat language and the addition of side quests, some feel that the overall story lacks depth and context. Additionally, while there are useful elements for learning tools, the narrative does not elevate the experience significantly.
