The game's story is generally described as cute and nostalgic, often evoking feelings of childhood and familial bonds, particularly sibling relationships.

“I think something that stood out to me was the story and how it is told in a way where the narrator is taking you back in time, to when you were young, playing with your friends, and exploring everything new in the world with excitement.”
“The short story is full of nostalgic whimsy, and the ending filled me with a bunch of warm fuzzies.”
“Oozing with charm, this is an adorable little game with a cute story about reconnecting with a sibling.”
“The story was essentially there just to explain the world designs and not much else, aside from the true ending.”
“On the other hand, the slow, patient, pointless story exposition from the narrator does nothing to add layers of complexity and is quick to annoy even the most dazed adult.”
