The story in "Office Story" is generally viewed as engaging but notably short, with many players expressing a desire for more content and depth. While some appreciate its humorous elements and simplicity, others criticize it for being a derivative of games like "Game Dev Story," leading to a sense of boredom once the main narrative concludes. Overall, players recommend extending the storyline and adding more missions to enhance replayability.
“The storyline was quite fun, and I really appreciated the fact that there were methods of obtaining gold bars other than purchasing them.”
“What I really like about Office Story is the fact that it's really software dev story -- you are running a software development studio that can produce games and other kinds of apps for mobile phones, the internet, or for personal computers or even smart TVs. The user interface is pretty good, and the minimalist art style looks great.”
