    The story in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players feeling it lacks depth and coherence, often describing it as character-driven but ultimately feeling like an afterthought. While some appreciate the charming art and character design, they criticize the pacing and development of relationships, leading to a sense of incompleteness and missed potential. Overall, the narrative is seen as enjoyable yet flawed, with a desire for more substantial storytelling and character arcs.

    • “A really cozy old-school adventure game with a great heartfelt story and lovable characters.”
    • “Great game, doesn't really take long to finish (which was my only con with the game, I really wanted it to be longer) but it got a very compelling story and amazingly written characters.”
    • “Mondealy is an RPG that focuses on its characters, world, and story rather than puzzles or mechanics.”
    • “At the end of the game in the epilogue, a bunch of characters started to argue about the themes of the story, with the narrator just saying that it's up to the player to find one. But in reality, I think that the author themselves didn't know it.”
    • “The story can be shortened to 'the main character is forced by others to do random things they aren't interested in, have nothing to do with, and no reason to do it.' It was bearable in the early to mid-game, as there were many jokes thrown in for entertainment, but at the end, it just dragged on and on, and I can't recommend it, as much as I want to.”
    • “The story itself was full of holes and felt incomplete, as shown by the points I made with the king and the characters' relationships.”
