The game's story is described as light and somewhat silly, with a mix of enjoyable elements and cheesy dialogue that doesn't detract from the gameplay.

- “It's okay, it's not big, it's not bad, the dialogue is a strain to listen to and jarringly out of pocket and one note, it's got little ideas in how it wants to make each real world element a resource and how it locks progression behind strict 'mine this' missions.”
