story
20 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is a short yet atmospheric narrative that explores themes of loneliness, loss, and human despair, centered around a young girl named Beth. While some reviewers found it engaging and well-written, others criticized it for being somewhat clichéd and lacking depth. Overall, it is appreciated for its emotional impact, art direction, and meaningful choices, making it a decent experience for a free-to-play title.
“A short, yet atmospheric story.”
“It is a short, profound story capturing the beauty of human despair.”
“Actually competent storytelling in my opinion, especially given the small scale.”
“The story is okay, I guess.”
“You might think I'm being unfair calling this badly written, but let's face it... if these guys could write professionally, they'd be published authors, rather than needing to pay $100 to self-publish their non-game short story e-book on Steam as if it was a game.”
“Unlike the song, the story is about a young girl named Beth who was just recently dumped by her boyfriend and she's been living with this trash-energy ever since.”
