The story emphasizes resilience and the unpredictability of life, highlighting that perseverance can lead to unexpected outcomes. However, it lacks a traditional narrative structure, as there is no dedicated story mode or time tracking features in the gameplay.
- “There is no such thing as a story mode, a time attack, or just an in-game clock to tell you how fast you solve the mahjong.”
