The integration of story and gameplay enhances the experience, although some players noted a desire for longer content and better quality-of-life features.

    • “The storyline I went down was fun, engaging, weird, and easy to digest (e.g., not one of those games where there's like 74 minutes of story to every 2 minutes of actual gameplay).”
    • “The story is well written, and I found myself actually getting invested in the characters presented despite the short length of the cut scenes and the absurdity of the story itself.”
