The game's story is generally viewed as underwhelming, with many players finding it lacking in depth and excitement. While some appreciate its attempt at complexity, others criticize the writing quality and overall execution, suggesting that it detracts from the gameplay experience. Overall, the narrative fails to engage players, often feeling more like an afterthought in a puzzle-focused game.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Really chill and fun story game with some nice puzzles!”
“In quests where heroes find their home.”

“The story is there, but it’s so bad it’s almost worse than if it wasn’t there!”

Overall, the gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users finding it lackluster and unrefined. While some appreciate the simple mechanics and nostalgic Game Boy-style elements, others criticize the limited interactivity, excessive backtracking, and the use of RPG Maker, which detracts from the overall experience. The presence of achievements and trading cards is noted, but they do not compensate for the shortcomings in gameplay quality.
“A fun little game with very simple mechanics and some small puzzles.”
“One that comes to mind easily is 'The Legend of Zelda,' where in the first title, you control your character from a top-down perspective, but in the second one, it undergoes a transformation that could be considered a blend, combining some RPG elements with platform gameplay.”
“Best game, perfect graphics, 2 hours, awesome gameplay.”
“The previous one had fine gameplay; RPG Maker is not the best for what the game is going for.”
“As for the gameplay, it feels lackluster and is not refined.”
“It has achievements and trading cards, but lacks proper gameplay.”

The graphics of the game are generally described as typical for RPG Maker, lacking in innovation and not particularly impressive, though some users find them acceptable for gameplay. While a few praise the art style as beautiful, many agree that the visuals do not elevate the overall experience, which is hindered by a lack of depth in gameplay mechanics.
“The art style and gameplay are entirely different, making for an odd inclusion in the series.”
“Graphics are beautiful, but an RPG has to be rich in stats to play around with and a bit of combat variety, and this one fails miserably in both departments.”
“Best game, perfect graphics, 2 hours of awesome gameplay.”
“As for the sound effects, soundtrack, and graphics, well, we're talking about a composition of the basic elements of RPG Maker, so there's not much to be surprised about.”
“Don't expect much from the graphics.”
“Graphics are typical RPG Maker; you have seen that a million times before.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and excessive, particularly due to repetitive encounters with guards that limit player options and extend combat unnecessarily. While it may serve as a means for achievement farming, the overall experience is described as monotonous and frustrating.
“Whenever you encounter a guard and get too close, a small fight ensues where you can't use the escape function or weapons or armor menu, even though it is displayed. You just fight him for 2-3 hits until he dies, which grows tedious fast.”
“This game is clearly for farming 100% completion and achievements, but it is absolutely excessive.”
“Perfect for achievement farming, but it lets you collect your urine from the toilet bowl.”
