  • story8 mentions

    The story in the game is engaging and features a sweet narrative involving a character that enhances the overall experience. Players appreciate the variety and uniqueness of the quests, which are well thought out and include comedic elements and hidden innuendos. Additionally, the fully voice-acted tasks contribute to a rich storytelling experience, making the game enjoyable beyond its clicker mechanics.

    • “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.”
    • “Speaking of which, you can't go directly to the city to check your quest requirements, so you have to go to the garden, then to the city, and finally to the box or store just to see what potions you need to make. Switching back and forth takes too long.”
    • “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 like 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!”
