  • story22 mentions

    The story in the game is often described as minimal and lacking depth, with many players feeling dropped into the narrative without sufficient context or engagement. While some appreciate the cute RPG elements and fighting mechanics, the linear progression and absence of side quests contribute to a sense of detachment from the storyline. Overall, the narrative is seen as a skeleton that could benefit from more worldbuilding and clearer objectives to enhance player investment.

    • “Very cute RPG with good fighting mechanics and interesting story details!”
    • “Overall, I liked the game - the story is good (although you will have to wait for it until about 70% of the game, when the gameplay slightly changes), art and music is nice, there is a great feeling of progress as you play and it is generally apparent that the author gave the game lots of time and love.”
    • “I hope to see some side quests incorporated in the game that develop side stories that allow for increased gameplay time.”
    • “There also isn't really a story, and what is there isn't interesting since we just got dumped into the middle of it.”
    • “You walk from town to dungeon with no real feeling of making progress on the story.”
    • “Story: there only seems to be a skeleton of a story here; you only get some actual worldbuilding from NPCs in the second town, and you still don't have any idea why your characters are doing anything. Better dialogue earlier or a proper end goal are a good start to improve your game.”

    • “So far from what I've played, it is a very cute RPG with good fighting mechanics and interesting story details!”
    • “Overall, I liked the game - the story is good (although you will have to wait for it until about 70% of the game, when the gameplay slightly changes), art and music are nice, there is a great feeling of progress as you play, and it is generally apparent that the author gave the game lots of time and love.”
    • “The gameplay is linear without any side quests (you just follow the main story quest line) and the RPG part is rather basic (permanent party, no elements, no buffs and statuses etc.), so I would say this game is actually perfect for kids as their first RPG (and of course everyone else who is fine with a simple RPG game).”
    • “Overall, I liked the game - the story is good (although you will have to wait for it until about 70% of the game, when the gameplay slightly changes), art and music is nice, there is a great feeling of progress as you play and it is generally apparent that the author gave the game lots of time and love.”

    • “I hope this helps out. I did enjoy some aspects of your game, but those faded away as I found more glitches, typos, and still didn't understand what I was doing in your world.”
    • “Though honestly, more than buggy, this game is horribly monotonous.”
