The story aspect of the game is criticized for its disturbing content, including forced torture and rape in certain quests, which many players find unacceptable. Additionally, the lack of clear direction and guidance in quests leads to frustration, as players struggle to progress amidst repetitive combat and vague objectives. While some acknowledge that the story has potential, the overall execution leaves much to be desired.
“The game has a good story.”
“The complete lack of direction is an absolute deal breaker since it will take you forever just to progress a single step in a single quest intermixed with dozens and dozens of boring bog-standard RPG Maker combat.”
“Even the quest screen doesn't tell you where to go, only 'kill x' or 'collect x,' but where are x and y?”
“Make sure you have multiple save slots because you might accidentally lock yourself out of being able to complete the game if you accidentally take on a mission that's too high level for you.”

“There is no post-credit gameplay.”
“The simple RPG fighting mechanics were actually what I was looking for when I bought the game, but as I said... half an hour of dialogue with only one two-hit fight to break it up?”
