The game's story is primarily revealed through player interactions rather than traditional quest markers, which some players appreciate. However, there are criticisms regarding the lack of engaging quests and the tediousness of certain tasks, such as hunting for animals, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the limited save system and lack of rewards from quests have led to mixed feelings about the game's narrative depth.
“The game is like a couple others I have played, as there are no quest bubbles...the story unfolds via interaction, which I like.”
“I cannot recommend this game at this time. The gameplay is good, but some features need reworking. The save system only allows you to save in taverns, and there are not a lot of animals in the world. Also, you don't make money from quests that I have seen. I had a quest to kill a deer, and it took me over an hour to find one. I may change my review later down the road.”

The gameplay is generally good, but it suffers from significant issues such as a limited save system restricted to taverns, a sparse animal population, and a lack of monetary rewards from quests, which can lead to frustrating experiences for players.
