The story in "notcod" features cadet Sudzy navigating through a series of levels connected by British satire and humor, similar to its predecessor "notgtav." While there is a more defined narrative than before, the primary focus remains on comedic elements rather than a deep storyline, allowing players to enjoy the humor while progressing through the game.

“In Notcod, you play as Cadet Sudzy as you go through another 'story' of British satire.”
“Just like the previous game Notgtav (I'm going to use that name since it's easier), there's barely a story; it's levels connected by jokes, even though there is actually more of a story unlike the previous game.”
“It's still supposed to be a game where its main draw is the humor, not the gameplay, so why make it very challenging to continue the story to get a laugh?”
