The story aspect of the game is criticized for its restrictive progression, with players feeling limited by daily tasks and a lack of available missions as they reach higher levels. While some appreciate the creative and unique narratives tied to real-life themes, many express a desire for more content and a deeper plot, as they quickly exhaust available missions.

“Wonderful creative and unique full-color action game with everyday stories of real life.”
“Good so far; is there more of a plot or story?”
“I'm level 34 and missions stopped at upgrading farmers 0/5, and there's nothing to upgrade except homes.”
“After the last update, my quest was changed to 'collect 60 planks', but my sawmill has already upgraded to a kiln, so I have no ability to make planks!”
“More missions please! It seems that there are more to unlock, but it says max level and no missions.”
