The game's story is praised for its engaging narrative and variety of choices, allowing players to shape their own adventures with multiple endings. However, many reviewers note issues with pacing, abrupt endings, and repetitive quests, which can detract from the overall experience.

- “The story is fantastic, the game doesn't even force ads or stuff.”

- “The storyline does get linear in some aspects with an illusion of choice.”
- “The story feels like it was written by a twelve-year-old, and you can lose the final fight after defeating the boss, by failing some random ability check.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed feedback from users. While many appreciate the minimal and non-intrusive nature of ads, which primarily appear after leveling up or completing a run, others express frustration over the increasing frequency of ads and the necessity to watch them for in-game currency. Overall, players find the option to purchase ad removal and the ability to earn currency through gameplay or watching ads to be a fair approach, though some feel that the balance could be improved to enhance the gaming experience.
- “As far as monetization goes, this game is more than generous with its premium currency, giving out plenty to the player simply through gameplay or optional ads.”
- “The monetization is not intrusive and not essential.”
- “Microtransactions are tastefully implemented and are obtainable for free.”
- “Now, they're filled with garbage that's not even meant to be fun, but just as cash grabs for the million ads they flood you with, and you have to go searching for good games like this one.”
- “But now to earn gems (currency needed to unlock tales along with other things) you can only watch a limited number of ads daily, and the game now has non-optional 30 second unskippable ads??”
- “Actually unplayable unless you pay to remove ads since they cover important information like your sanity and health.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while it allows for the unlocking of alternate stories and content, it can become tedious and repetitive, especially as the game progresses and the availability of new endings and items decreases. The reliance on RNG for equipment and stat checks adds to the frustration, making the grind feel less rewarding. Despite these challenges, some players appreciate the opportunity to engage with the game and support its development, though many express a desire for improvements to the grinding mechanics and overall pacing.
- “Grinding for gems is a bit of a challenge to be able to unlock all of the events and stories without spending money, so that's a bummer, but I still bought the adventurer pack to support the game.”
- “Because events trigger randomly and there's RNG in finding equipment and passing stat checks, many interesting endings tied to extremely specific routes need grinding to achieve, which kills the enjoyment of the adventure.”
- “Imagine excitedly grinding for enough gems to buy a new background, but finding the actual playthrough boring once you buy it because you already spent too much time just grinding for gems and memorizing 70% of the story in the process.”
