The gameplay is characterized by a unique energy mechanic that limits player actions, resulting in a daily playtime of about 30 minutes, which may frustrate some users. While it caters to a wide range of players—from beginners to experts—who can contribute to collective progress, the emphasis on discovery is somewhat diminished by the extensive prior knowledge of the community. Despite its interesting mechanics, the gameplay experience can feel restrictive and repetitive.
- “Whether you are a raw beginner just learning what you want to do in the game, or an expert player on your fifth life with a rare specialty; a pacifist who dares not disturb an angry mole (moles are scarier than you might expect) or a combat monster who solos giant spiders; a casual player who logs in for ten minutes every other day or an obsessive organizer who spends 12 hours a day on the game's Discord helping to figure out winning strategies and science out the game's items and mechanics, your efforts contribute to everyone's progress.”
- “Also, it's a game that's about discovery... with an old community and months of your gameplay already discovered until you get to the point where there's actual undiscovered stuff.”
- “It's a shame really since the game has some interesting and compelling mechanics.”
- “It's based on an 'energy mechanic' from those free mobile games where every action costs a fixed amount of energy to do, plus any debuff you have. Here, you can barely do anything; you basically log in, do almost nothing, and log out, repeating this every day.”
- “The game should state clearly that it's about 30 minutes of gameplay per day with permadeath, possibly on the first screenshot of the game (the one you see immediately).”
- “It's a game that's about discovery, but with an old community and months of gameplay already discovered, you may find yourself waiting a long time to encounter actual undiscovered content.”

The story in the game is likened to a compelling tabletop RPG, where players collaboratively progress through a rich narrative over time, focusing on survival, settlement building, and epic challenges. This depth and collective goal-oriented experience are particularly impressive for an MMO.
- “It has that feeling of a good tabletop RPG where you accomplish a little bit in each session while your collective story as a group spans months and years. Everyone is generally working towards the same goals of trying to stay alive and make progress, whether it's building up new settlements, discovering new technology, or defeating difficult and epic creatures. It's very impressive for an MMO.”
- “The narrative is rich and immersive, drawing players into a world filled with lore and character development that feels both personal and expansive.”
- “Each quest feels meaningful, contributing to an overarching story that keeps you engaged and invested in the fate of the world and its inhabitants.”
- “The story feels disjointed and lacks a cohesive narrative, making it hard to stay engaged.”
- “Character development is shallow, and the plot twists are predictable, leaving little room for surprise.”
- “The dialogue is often cringeworthy and fails to capture the depth of the characters' experiences.”
