The story is generally praised for its richness, unexpected twists, and engaging world-building, with strong writing and humor. However, some users found issues with inconsistent tone, jarring plot beats, and characterization shifts that affect the narrative coherence. Despite these flaws, the story's ability to offer meaningful player choices and self-awareness enhances the overall experience.
“Woaw, I greatly enjoyed this game: its story is rich and I didn't see some stuff coming.”
“Those quibbles aside, it's a really good story and an enjoyable read, and I have to give credit for the awareness in the writing that yeah, the main plot of this story doesn't make sense, and the giving the player the ability to reject the goals of the cops who serve a dystopian system at every turn.”
“Saturnine is a fun choose-your-own-adventure story with rich world building, interesting themes, excellent humor and references, and more than a bit of heart to it.”
“You haven't given me one single reason to pursue the primary plot point!”
“The writing is casual at best as a whole, with weird changes in characterization that will give you whiplash just so certain plot points can happen.”
“I do have a few issues with this story, mostly having to do with tone and some story beats that were jarring to me.”
