The story has potential but suffers from a lack of clarity and engagement, with players feeling it becomes convoluted and loses direction as it progresses. While some appreciate the initial concept and the music, many criticize the minimal interactivity and the reliance on lengthy cutscenes, leading to a disappointing experience overall. The game is still in early access, suggesting that improvements may be forthcoming.
“You could make the character do some good or bad deeds and have 2 different ends to the story (heaven or hell).”
“The game is in early access, it's a work in progress, but I like the story.”
“Decent story and music.”
“The only time you can actually play would be for 1-2 minutes by going through a boring maze that will lead you to the end of the story.”
“I think the story idea was fine in the beginning, but it got lost in the middle and by the end you really don’t get it.”
“At least a simple story - Alex had more interactivity; this is just a huge cutscene with 'here's your reward!'”
