The story is a text-based interactive experience centered around a baseball pitcher's career, primarily appealing to baseball fans. While it offers some enjoyable moments and achievements, players find it repetitive and limited in how choices impact the plot, often relying on clichés. Additionally, the integration of character stats feels inconsistent, detracting from the overall narrative experience.
- “This is an entirely text-based interactive story about your life as a pitcher, and I suppose you mostly have to ask yourself if you sound like the target audience for that sort of experience.”
- “However, it's still a fun story and worth playing if you like baseball.”
- “The story in Japan was really cool, so I was hoping if I made my character from Japan originally, I'd get some cool stuff, such as not needing the interpreter and perhaps the coaches in Japan treating me better.”
- “The story itself is somewhat shorter than I expected, and once you play through the game a time or two, it becomes repetitive, even while making mostly new choices about your baseball career.”
- “The most frustrating thing was that very few of my choices actually changed the plot of the game.”
- “The story isn't that good and relies on a lot of baseball story clichés, so it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.”
