The game's story revolves around the theme of restoration and personal growth, with players traveling to various locations to restore mosaics while encountering diverse characters and settings. However, many reviewers found the narrative lacking, noting that it is minimally developed and only presented through brief animations at the beginning and end, which do not significantly impact gameplay. Overall, while the title suggests a deeper narrative, the execution leaves much to be desired, with some players forgetting about the story altogether during their experience.
- “Restoring the world is the main purpose and its mosaic's story, and while doing so you will have to travel to different places and see many interesting architectures, creatures, and humans engaging in different activities.”
- “Thumbs up for the god and goddess storyline though.”
- “The title of this game hints at a story, perhaps to a story on a deeper level.”
- “I forgot all about there supposedly being some sort of story to the game until I completed it and got a cut-scene out of nowhere.”
- “The 'story' is told in two short animations and had no impact whatsoever on the gameplay.”
- “I almost forgot: there is a storyline but it only appears at the beginning and end of the game.”

- “This is a bit of a shame as I would have liked to bask in the completed artwork; this is something fixed by the otherwise mediocre sequel.”

The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and meditative quality, offering around 9 hours of relaxing experience with well-implemented mechanics.

- “Finally, in regards to the gameplay, there's fever mode, which is for those who really like a challenge.”
- “The last level of each of the 6 level packs has a strange mechanic where you have to rotate the board to make tiles fit.”
- “The 'story' is told in two short animations and had no impact whatsoever on the gameplay.”
- “The time pressure is gone, but replaced by an equally tone-deaf scoring mechanic.”

- “The replay value for the game is low.”
- “It's effectively a boss rush mode in a puzzle game, which adds replay value to a type of game that usually doesn't have any.”
