The game's story is praised for its engaging narrative and variety of choices, allowing for multiple endings and unique experiences in each playthrough. However, many players express frustration with the abrupt endings, repetitive quests, and the reliance on luck for success, which can lead to unsatisfying outcomes. While the storytelling is immersive and well-crafted, there are calls for more content, clearer connections between quests, and improvements in pacing to enhance the overall experience.
- “The storyline always pulls you in as ideas whiz through your mind as you play, thinking of what you should try next, do differently, and experiment.”
- “Easily the best story type adventure game out there, with hundreds of different endings and sub-endings you can achieve from thousands of different choices you can make, each making a difference.”
- “The story is fantastic, the game doesn't even force ads or stuff.”
- “The worst part about this game is the fact that if you want to play with all the story, you will have to spend like $30 on gems to unlock the other options.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed feedback from users. While many appreciate the option to watch ads for in-game currency and the ability to purchase a membership to remove ads, others find the frequency and intrusiveness of ads—especially after major decisions or level-ups—annoying and disruptive to gameplay. Overall, players acknowledge the need for ads to support the game but express a desire for a more balanced approach to their implementation.
- “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.”
- “Microtransactions are tastefully implemented and are obtainable for free.”
- “The monetization is not intrusive and not essential.”
- “Now, ads seem to play after every single major decision.”
- “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??”
- “Fun for a while but impossible to earn gems normally after discovering most stuff and ads play after every level up and every death, really excessive.”

- “I do have a small problem in the game mechanics is that it's mostly based on luck and percentage.”
- “It used to be around 30 seconds max per combat, but now, especially at low levels you have to wait for around 1-2 minutes until the combat is over, and there's essentially no combat gameplay making it more tedious.”

grinding
14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while it can initially be quick and rewarding, it becomes increasingly tedious as progress slows and the need to replay content for gems and specific endings grows. The combat system, which lacks engagement, adds to the repetitiveness, making the grind feel more burdensome over time. Despite these frustrations, some players appreciate the challenge and the opportunity to explore alternate stories, though many express a desire for improvements to reduce the grind.
- “Because events trigger randomly and there's the 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.”
- “Grinding gems is fairly quick at first, but it gets harder as you make progress since you discover less new endings, monsters, and items as time goes on.”
- “But if you don't want to buy gems, it can get tedious constantly replaying the same stories to earn gems.”

- “Overall the writing is funny, and there's big replay value.”

- “The atmosphere, the minimalistic soundtrack, the RNG of battles and encounters makes it a fun run through every time.”
