The story is poorly translated, leading to confusion and a lack of coherence in both the narrative and instructions. The opening scene features a text-to-speech robot that delivers the story in a disjointed manner, contributing to an odd initial experience.
“Everything is translated by Mr. Google and makes little to no sense, both in the story and the instructions.”
“The opening scene features a text-to-speech robot quickly explaining the story, which made for a weird first impression.”
