The story is generally well-received, with players enjoying the fun characters and the engaging narrative, although some find the main story mode to be relatively short. There are additional modes unlocked after completing the story, providing more content for players. However, a bug that causes players to be kicked out after completing a day in story mode has been noted as a frustrating issue.

“It took me a full day to beat the main story.”
“Also, there is a bug where once you complete a day in story mode it kicks you out and you have to join back in.”
