The story in the game is highlighted as sweet and engaging, particularly through the character interactions and quests that are well-crafted and voice-acted. Players appreciate the comedic elements and hidden innuendos woven into the dialogue, which enhance the overall experience. While the quest management can be cumbersome, the variety and uniqueness of the tasks keep the gameplay entertaining and enjoyable.
- “On top of the constant tasks, I live for the comedic value and hidden innuendos sprinkled throughout the dialogue and quests alike.”
- “The quests themselves are just as impressively well thought through as they are entertaining, while each one stays unique.”
- “I think there's lots of variety to the ingredients and how you get them, and even the potions can get pretty complex in terms of the number of ingredient types and amounts you need. The quests have a variety of potions you need to make, which is good if you enjoy managing lots of stuff, but if you're going to do that, you need to make the whole game that way. There's basically not a whole lot you can do other than that; it mostly sits there dormant.”
- “There is also a very sweet story with a guy, and it just makes everything much better after you help him!”
- “All of the tasks with a story are fully voice acted, including the characters you don't see anywhere else.”
