The game's story is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its engaging narrative and artistic presentation. However, some users noted issues with cutscene performance, such as stuttering and skipping, which detracted from the experience. While fans of story-driven games are likely to enjoy it, those who prefer different genres may find it less appealing.
- “Great game, love the storyline and the graphics.”
- “Really liked the art and story.”
- “Great game, enjoyable story line to follow, with fun features all round.”
- “I know that for someone who likes story games it will be a banger, but I prefer to play sandbox free world or shooting games, so it won't be much for people like me.”
- “Love the story, but I got very quickly bored of the game.”
- “Just a note: I'm having a small issue with the game; the story art cutscenes stutter, both the art scenes and the sounds, and then it skips automatically in the game. The whole gameplay is smooth sailing, just in the cutscenes in the story. Although I find it minor, I hope the devs fix it. I'm playing on an old laptop model, by the way. Having all that said, I'm having a great time in this game.”
