The game's story is minimal, primarily conveyed through a prologue that doubles as a tutorial, leaving players with little narrative depth beyond that. Additionally, the presence of a hat store for trading coins suggests a focus on gameplay mechanics rather than a rich storyline.
“The prologue serves as both a tutorial and the only real story element you will experience in the game.”
“The prologue is both a tutorial and the only real story bit you will ever receive in the game.”
“The narrative feels disjointed and lacks depth, making it hard to connect with the characters.”
