The game's story is primarily conveyed through text with minimal cutscenes and lacks depth, making it less engaging for those seeking a rich narrative. However, some players appreciate its original techno-fantasy elements and find the environmental storytelling and subtle intrigue appealing, particularly at the beginning. Overall, the story may not be the main draw, but it complements the gameplay for fans of turn-based RPGs.

- “Subtle, intriguing story elements.”
- “Also, I was looking forward to playing through the story - it is also interesting (the beginning, precisely).”
- “The story is advanced through a few cutscenes, but mostly through text that you have to read yourself (there is no voiceover).”
- “The story is quite trivial, and there isn't much depth to it, but I think this is not the kind of game you would play for an engaging narrative.”
- “If you like turn-based RPGs with lots of different classes and skills to choose from and don't mind the story too much, this might be a game for you.”
