The game's story is entertaining, featuring engaging dialogue and a rich backstory that hints at potential future expansions. While the six cases are largely unrelated, they culminate in a loose overarching narrative involving a villain stealing artifacts for a nefarious ritual. Overall, the main story may not be substantial, but the vibrant voxel art and deep lore enhance the experience.

- “Leave Wakeland behind and dream yourself into a world that leaves so much room (and backstory) for more to hopefully come one day.”

- “The overarching story is fine, but not great, and involves one villain who is stealing valuable artifacts to perform some type of evil ritual.”
