The game's story revolves around a father preparing a bed for his daughter across 40 levels, but the narrator's gruff demeanor contrasts with the expected warmth of a bedtime tale, making the narrative less endearing.
“The narrator, who is the father, isn't quite so lovable, though, and sounds a little gruff, not exactly what you'd immediately imagine being the soothing voice for a bedtime story.”
“The only story is that you try in 40 levels to prepare the bed for your little daughter.”
“The narrator/father isn't quite so lovable, though, and sounds a little gruff and not exactly what you'd immediately imagine being the soothing voice for a bedtime story.”
