story
317 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is characterized as cute and engaging, featuring lovable characters and interconnecting storylines that provide a cozy experience. However, many players noted significant bugs that hindered quest completion and overall enjoyment, leading to frustration with the fetch quest mechanics and a desire for a more expansive narrative. While the art and humor are praised, the short length and repetitive nature of the quests left some players wanting more depth and polish in the storytelling.
“The story and dialogue are a lot of fun too!!”
“The art and storytelling of this game is absolutely beautiful.”
“I really enjoyed the story and the message at the end.”
“The entire time is just one long cascading fetch quest and none of them involve anything more interesting than 'here's where this person is, go find them and get more busywork.' If I wanted the runaround, I could just walk down the street and talk to a bank.”
“Other than that, I found myself mostly disinterested in the story that was going on and found it to be pretty tropey in a bad way.”
“However, this had no real story to it, it was incredibly short and it glitches constantly.”
