While some see potential in the graphics and gameplay, the overall consensus is that the story is non-existent, leading to a feeling of boredom after a short playtime.

I'd buy it at a cheap rate to see what becomes of it... in 2 hours at the moment you'll be bored of it... if you want a game that's good that is very close and finished, buy The Forest.”
