The story is criticized for its simplistic and juvenile execution, resembling the work of a 15-year-old, with much of the narrative conveyed through notes that lack depth and engagement. Reviewers found the storyline to be straightforward and uninteresting, leading to a lack of recommendation, although there is potential for improvement with future updates. Overall, the narrative fails to captivate players, making it a weak aspect of the game.
- “The gameplay seems mostly simple: 2D walk-around hack-and-slash, with clickable bits that tell you about the story and cryptic clues to something else.”
- “Really short right now but they are releasing the story in updates; so far about an hour in the first part of the game is really fun.”
- “I might be wrong on the outcome of the story, but it looks pretty straightforward to me.”
- “The perspectives and themes have their origins in a 15-year-old boy trying to tell a story; however, I think it is dishonest to truly say it has developed beyond that point.”
- “Within this game, the story is primarily told to you through various notes, rather than expositional diatribes, which I certainly could see myself having written when I was 15.”
- “What killed it for me was the story itself.”

The gameplay is engaging and offers a mix of simple 2D hack-and-slash mechanics with strategic elements, particularly when facing new enemies. While some players find it occasionally repetitive, the inclusion of clickable story elements and cryptic clues adds depth. The artistic pencil-drawing cutscenes provide a unique visual flair, though their transition from regular gameplay can feel abrupt.
