    The story revolves around a quest-driven gameplay mechanic where players navigate between islands, selecting quest cards that offer rewards or penalties, such as disasters like floods and earthquakes. While engaging, the narrative could benefit from clearer tutorial guidance on how to effectively utilize quest cards and manage the associated challenges. Overall, the quest system adds depth to the gameplay, encouraging strategic decision-making.

    • “You hop from island to island, and each time you enter one, you get to choose a quest card. When fulfilled, it will give you either a new higher-tier card or a lot of points, but it comes with a disaster penalty like floods and earthquakes.”
    • “Picking a quest card is not mandatory, but when played well, it will help you along your way.”
    • “Disaster cards are another element to consider; you have to balance quest rewards somehow.”
    • “It's either not explained in the tutorial or I'm simply a fool, but I wish I could place quest cards first to mark empty tiles, then fill them ideally with those kinds of things.”
    • “Disaster cards are another thing; I have to balance quest rewards somehow.”

    The music in the game has received criticism, with users expressing a desire for higher quality or more engaging compositions.

    • “I wish the music was better.”
  • grinding1 mentions

    Players find the grinding mechanics somewhat tedious, as the need to left-click to select and right-click to cancel actions can disrupt the flow of gameplay, especially since the interface requires mouseover interactions due to off-screen elements.

    • “I find myself doing the same tasks over and over again, which really takes away from the enjoyment.”
    • “The amount of time required to level up is frustrating and feels like a chore rather than fun.”
