The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and creativity, with players feeling constrained by a linear quest system that resembles a lengthy tutorial rather than an engaging narrative. Many reviews highlight the repetitive and uninspired nature of the quests, which offer little freedom and often force players to grind for resources to progress. Overall, the story aspect is seen as minimal, with no significant plot development or engaging side quests to enhance the experience.
- “It's actually a cute game, and the quests walk you through progression pretty well, I think.”
- “The tutorial is a long quest line that shows you every mechanic in the game practically.”

- “I must say that the game is a little different than it seems at first glance; I thought that it would have complete freedom of action, but it turned out not to be so. You are led by quests on the game's HDD, you complete them and open more and more devices.”
