“I would imagine that a game about nature and pre-history could incorporate a variety of tribal music styles.”

The story aspect of the game has been criticized for its lack of clarity and progression, as players have encountered dead ends without guidance on how to obtain necessary quest items, leading to frustration and a lack of support from the community.
“After a first play attempt ending with a dead end, and no way to find a requested quest item to progress, I searched in the forum and found that I wasn't the only one with this problem, but no answer was provided nor any mention of a fix.”
“The story felt disjointed and lacked coherence, making it difficult to stay engaged with the plot.”
“Character development was minimal, leaving me feeling disconnected from the protagonists and their motivations.”
