The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of direction and depth, with reviewers suggesting that it is not suitable for players seeking a narrative-driven experience. Instead, it focuses more on gameplay mechanics, such as simulating animal behavior, rather than delivering a compelling storyline.
“The fennec fox is a different story.”
“If you want direction, story, or depth, maybe give it a pass.”
“I'd say if you ever wanted to run about like an animal in its natural environment, this game is for you, but obviously if you want a huge story-driven game or FPS action, then it's not.”
