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 find essential quest items. This has led to frustration, with users noting that they are not alone in facing these issues, yet no solutions or fixes have been provided by the developers.
“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 to have the problem, but no answer was provided nor any mention of a fix.”
