The story is generally praised for being interesting and engaging, with many players eager to see how it develops in future chapters. While the narrative is compelling, some reviewers express concerns about the lack of plot development and engaging gameplay, suggesting that the game prioritizes storytelling over traditional gaming mechanics. Overall, the story is seen as a strong point, but its effectiveness may depend on the game's future content and gameplay improvements.
“The story is also very interesting and intriguing, so I can't wait for what the next few chapters have to offer!”
“You go into the game expecting something trash and stale only to discover that the game really does bring something to the table with the lore and story.”
“I like how the story flows but hate that ending so much, only because I want more.”
“While the game gathers interest with its story, it's still a game at the end of the day, and having minigames and whatnot doesn't help the fact that the core gameplay loop is mostly absent as of the first chapter.”
“I don't want to be so critical of a project that clearly comes from a place of passion and talent/skill for storytelling along with other aspects, but this is a game at the end of the day and if it goes unaddressed it will undermine the rest of the project.”
“Maybe I'll be proved wrong and the rest of the game has a good core gameplay loop, but as it sits and from what I experienced it tries to be a story first and a game basically not at all, which undermines what the medium of video games is based upon.”
