The story is described as interesting, with a unique feature that generates an ending based on player choices, though it is noted to be a parody. However, some elements, particularly the "turtle" storyline, are criticized for being overly brutal and messy. Players express a desire for future games to incorporate their choices more significantly into the narrative and gameplay.
“But at the end of the game, it generates a story based on your answers.”
“I really am hoping for a future game where we can implement our secret words into it somehow, which will have an impact on the overall story and gameplay.”
“As for the story of the 'turtle', it was messed up in a lot of ways.”
“Jesus, the turtle story was brutal!”
“I am just curious, since it is only a parody, if somehow they will be gathering all the answers (of the three games) to create a new game with a story based on these choices.”
