The game's story is minimal, primarily revolving around the premise of being a descendant of a missing treasure hunter on a remote island, with no significant progression or depth. This lack of narrative cohesion leads to a disjointed experience filled with random ideas and puzzles, detracting from overall enjoyment. Additionally, technical issues and unresponsive controls further diminish the potential of the game.

- “Because there is no story progression, it feels more like a selection of random ideas and puzzles rather than a single experience.”
