The story revolves around a taco delivery mission, but it is largely overshadowed by the emphasis on exploration and flight mechanics. Reviewers note that the narrative feels arbitrary and underdeveloped, with more focus placed on environmental design than on a cohesive storyline or structured progression.
- “However, when I ponder it further, it seems like the bulk of the thought has gone into designing the environment, rather than coming up with an arbitrary storyline, and progression is left open.”
