The game's story is minimal and primarily conveyed through its Steam page description rather than within the gameplay itself, which some players find lacking. However, there is a suggestion for a more engaging narrative, such as a devil's challenge involving a trade-off between money and the player's soul, which could enhance the overall experience. Despite the limited storytelling, players acknowledge the effort of a solo developer.
- “The game has a story, even though it's not entirely presented within the game itself.”
- “Maybe add a story that makes the checkpoint sprite make sense with the game; perhaps you are doing a devil's challenge where he gives you money but at the cost of your soul (permadeath).”
- “The only other thing I could complain about is the lack of story in the actual game, but as I said earlier, I can give that a pass since it was all being done by one guy.”
- “All of the story is told in the description of the game on the Steam page and nothing is told about it there. As a customer, I am a bit of an idiot and buy games based on how they look being played and the price, and don't tend to read the descriptions.”
- “It has a story, even though it's not entirely in the game itself.”

Users indicate that high GPU usage above 90% is typical and beneficial for modern 3D games, especially those with advanced features like ray tracing. They emphasize that such usage is expected for optimal in-game performance, and it should not be viewed negatively unless the game is poorly optimized or outdated.
- “For a modern 3D game running uncapped frame rates (especially one that even has ray tracing, etc.), above 90% usage is perfectly normal and actually desirable for the best in-game performance.”
- “Because it creates poorer performance in-game.”
- “Unless the game is limited in frames and not very intensive, or the game is old or very poorly optimized, you should expect these GPU usages and be happy for them as it increases your frame rates and in-game PC performance.”
- “Just because you have a 3070 doesn't mean everybody wants to steal your GPU performance.”

- “Love the game! The graphics are amazing, and the levels kept me on my toes. No bugs, totally perfect!”
- “If you aren't at 100% at some point while playing the game, then you are either playing a much older game, using too low of graphics settings, or your CPU isn't strong enough (you're totally fine).”
- “The graphics look outdated and remind me of games from a decade ago.”
- “I was disappointed by the low resolution textures; they really detract from the overall experience.”
- “The character models are poorly designed and lack detail, making the game feel less immersive.”
