The story is minimal and largely revolves around your evolving relationship with your boss through text interactions. It is short and offers some insight, but overall feels underdeveloped and unengaging, with the writing and humor failing to stand out. Most players find the story aspect unremarkable and not a significant part of the game experience.
- “There is a minimal story, as you and your boss build up a bit of a negative or positive relationship based on how you respond to their texts.”
- “Be prepared for a short but insightful story.”
- “That and the fact that the barebones story begins the drag near the end made the game sour on me slightly at the end.”
