The game's story is described as a road-movie style plot that prioritizes the journey over the destination, with a mix of over-the-top B-movie elements and text-to-speech voice acting. While some find it intriguingly "so bad it's good," others criticize it as nonsensical and poorly executed, suggesting it lacks depth and coherence. Despite these flaws, players express a desire for more content, particularly enjoying the creative level design and gameplay mechanics in the later chapters.
- “A road-movie style plot in which the process is more important than the end point.”
- “The plot of this game reminded me of Guy Ritchie's movies combined with the hardcore intimate breaks from Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls.”
- “It has a sense, a story, drive, and fresh solutions, unlike many products of famous companies, which in recent years are just chewing the old cud.”
- “For the price, the game is not worth it; this should be either free to play or cost less than it does. The models look half decent until they die, and the story is well trash also.”
- “Not to mention, the story was kind of stupid, too!”
- “I'd describe it as being an over-the-top B-movie with text-to-speech voice acting, and the story (for what it is) is a bit of a 'so bad it's actually kind of intriguing.'”
