The game's story is primarily driven by exploration and player memory, as it lacks a map or quest log, requiring players to navigate and remember the town's layout and its various elements. Players appreciate the vast, diverse environments and the ongoing discovery of new spells and equipment, which enriches the narrative experience. Overall, the story unfolds organically through interaction with the world and its NPCs.

- “There is no map, there is no quest log, there is nothing but your memory of what the town looks like and what's in each direction.”
- “The game seems to have a large number of roughly 1km x 1km zones, with varying environments, enemies, wildlife, vegetation, and quest-oriented NPCs in each.”
- “I already own this game on my quest headset, but it was on sale for literal pennies, so I thought I might as well pick it up on Steam.”
