The game's story is a blend of quests and character interactions, reminiscent of titles like Stardew Valley, but with a stronger focus on grinding for resources to progress. While fans of the source material may appreciate the narrative, newcomers might find the story lacking depth, as it often requires completing numerous fetch quests that can feel repetitive.
