18 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story presents a compelling premise with a mix of sci-fi and satire, featuring a young woman on a cosmic mission with multiple endings and love interests. However, reviewers note that it lacks depth in exploring the consequences of key events and offers limited meaningful choices that significantly influence the narrative. Overall, while the foundation is strong, the execution leaves much to be desired in terms of storytelling depth and player agency.
“The idea of the story is very good, but it wasn't deeply explored enough; there are too few meaningful decisions you can make to influence the story.”
“"Save the world" is a hilarious cosmic journey that combines sci-fi storytelling with a pinch of economic satire.”
“You'll navigate through four different endings, encounter two love interests (Xen and Sarah), and experience a story packed with unpredictable and clever moments.”
“After each law, the story doesn't go deep enough on the consequences, and even when it suggests them, it fails to explore them adequately.”
“(It was mentioned at the end that robots would take the jobs of those people, but only at the end of the story.)”
“Not enough meaningful player choices that influence the story; while each choice affects your potential love interest or the fate of Earth/aliens, the significance only becomes apparent when they combine at the end of the game.”
