The story of "Natari at the Bubble Planet" follows a young girl named Natari as she navigates her bond with magical creatures called bubbles, but the narrative is criticized for being rushed and inconsistent, leaving players feeling unsatisfied and disconnected from the characters. While some appreciate the game's cute art style and premise, many find the dialogue poor and the plot lacking depth, resulting in an unfinished feeling by the end. Overall, the story struggles to engage players meaningfully, with many elements feeling irrelevant to character development.
- “The game's background story is quickly rushed through in the intro video, a brief synopsis however is that it follows a young girl named Natari who is making a decision about which creature named Bubbles she should bond with. These creatures have seemingly magical powers in very narrow areas (though what they can actually do is only hinted at) and they also require compatibility tests with a possible bonding human, and a human can only ever bond with two in their life.”
