The current story of the game is described as bland and underdeveloped, with players able to complete it in about 2 to 4 hours, depending on their focus on achievements. However, the introduction of a specific character towards the end suggests potential for deeper storytelling in future updates, and the quest system provides a helpful sense of direction in the otherwise sandbox environment. Overall, the narrative appears to be in its early stages, with hopes for more diverse quests to come.
“I was able to finish the current playable parts of the story for this game as well as get all achievements within 2 hours of playtime. It feels like if I wasn't going for achievements or trying to see the ending, it could take upwards of 4 hours.”
“So this does imply that there are going to be more properly diverse quests as time goes on.”
“Not only this, while most of the current story feels very bland, at the end, you actually do get introduced to a specific character, which shows that the story is still very early on.”
