The game currently lacks a defined story mode, with players expressing a desire for narrative elements to enhance the experience. While the meditation and travel aspects are well-received, many reviewers feel that the world and characters are ripe for a more structured storyline. Continuous updates from the developer may improve the game's depth, but as it stands, it primarily focuses on exploration and breathing exercises.
- “Bought it after trying the demo; it seems like a solid concept. I'm not sure if a story mode is planned, but that would definitely be welcomed, as the world and characters seem ready for it!”
- “Really interesting concept! The travel locations are nice, and there are some interactive elements. It has more functionality than the last time I tried it, hence my recommendation. However, there isn't a story at this point; it's more about traveling to locations and doing breathing exercises.”
- “I'm not sure how, but a story mode would be very nice, or some sort of progress.”
- “Really interesting concept, the travel locations are nice and there are some interactive elements. However, there isn't a story at this point; it's more about traveling to locations and doing breathing exercises.”

- “Bought it after trying the demo; it seems like a solid concept. I'm not sure if a story mode is planned, but that would definitely be welcomed as the world and characters seem ready for it.”
