The story aspect of the game is currently underdeveloped, primarily consisting of character prologues that hint at deeper themes of philosophy, adventure, and loss. While initial quests are basic and lack engagement, there is potential for a more coherent narrative as the game progresses. Players express hope that the developer will enhance the story as the world and characters are further fleshed out.
- “None of the story setups feature insufferable characters or extremely dull narratives, like certain other RPGs (cough cough 90% of them). They certainly set a tone that suggests we are going to delve into a story filled with philosophy, dark themes, adventure, loss, and more interesting characters.”
- “Not a ton there yet, but all of the elements that make a game actually work are in place, and now the developer is focused on finishing out the world and story.”
- “The story that I touched on might have had something going, but it doesn't engage or really feel like it's that coherent.”
- “Because at this point, there is pretty much no story, just prologues for each character.”
- “The story that I touched on might have had something going, but it doesn't engage or really even feel like it's that coherent.”
- “First quest is a basic boring 'go kill 5 turkeys' followed by two 'go talk to this NPC' quests.”

- “⭐⭐ music & sounds - the sound balance was off.”

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it involves a lot of repetitive running and lacks an effective mini-map. There are calls for improvements, such as AI-based auto-attacking for parties, to streamline the farming process and reduce the tedium of constant toggling.
- “Overall, I think the game has potential, but unless you're okay with no effective mini-map and a lot of repetitive running around and grinding, I would not recommend it in its current state.”
- “With group forming, one thing I hope to see improved is AI-based auto-attacking for parties, to give the player ease of use when farming mobs, rather than constantly toggling over and over.”
