The story of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its charming and cozy elements, but criticizing its pacing and character development. While some storylines, like Tori's, are seen as well fleshed out, others, particularly the romantic arcs, feel rushed and lacking depth.

- “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.”
- “At first I wasn't expecting much from this game, but after playing it I became so invested in the story and really enjoyed it a lot.”
- “The story itself was full of holes and felt incomplete, as shown by the points I made with the king and the characters' relationships.”
- “The main problem with it is that there is pretty much no reason for Michael, the main character, to be involved in any of it, and it prevents you from exploring the world and finishing side-quests (the best parts of the game) until you progress further in the story, making it feel like a chore rather than an exciting journey.”
- “While I do appreciate the designs of the world and most of its characters, as well as the soundtrack and dialogue, I was a bit disappointed by how the story was written and how the events were paced.”

- “Honestly, I admit that I can’t really say anything about the story, gameplay, and game mechanics of the game, but I don’t need it.
