The game's story is described as engaging and interesting, with some players appreciating its classic themes and character development. However, many reviewers criticize the rapid auto-play mechanics that skip dialogue and limit immersion, making it difficult to follow the narrative.

“The story is interesting so far, classic amnesiac protagonist unraveling a conspiracy and their own past and fate.”
“Engaging story and quests, although auto play can get a bit monotonous, it's worth the download.”
“Overall amazing, having so much fun; the story is amazing.”
“A lot of potential, but the personalization of your character and your actions is highly exaggerated; from the moment you start, it's auto-play. I ran into the issue where the quests just seemed to stop, and no matter how much wandering I did, there was nothing.”
“You can't even immerse yourself in the story since the text disappears in 5 seconds.”
“The auto feature goes so fast you can hardly read the story.”
