    The game's story features a deep backstory that becomes more engaging as players progress, with a unique single-playthrough structure that encourages exploration through trial and error. However, many players find the quest system lacking in context and meaning, leading to frustration with its relevance and impact on gameplay. Overall, while the narrative and atmosphere are praised, the execution of quests detracts from the overall experience.

    • “This game hides its charm at first couple of cycles, but the more you play, the more involved in the story and the gameplay you get.”
    • “The game has a deep backstory, and the way you progress on this story is really interesting.”
    • “Great story and text, and atmosphere.”
    • “The quest popups fail to have any meaning due to a lack of context as well as no definite changes.”
    • “Add a hint or a tip or something to quest decisions so you have an idea of how it might work or what kind of place you're importing lumber from; anything to give context and meaning to the decisions beyond 'well let's just try to fix the roof with clay and see if it works!'”
    • “Since the story and progress is saved between deaths, this also means that this is a single-playthrough game, which you will beat eventually, just by trial and error.”
