The story has been criticized for being significantly shorter and feeling incomplete, with many elements, such as stats, appearing to lack meaningful impact on the narrative. While some users found it reminiscent of "Battlestar Galactica," they noted that it devolves into illogical episodes where player choices do not significantly alter the plot. Overall, the narrative is described as fast-paced and predictable, lacking depth in both story and character development.
“I think this is an excellent story and well told.”
“3x playthroughs = 130 minutes of solid interesting storyline.”
“The story reminded me of Battlestar Galactica at first, but as the story went on it turned into strange episodes with no logic in them, decisions that feel like they are not affecting the plot pretty much at all, the storyline is always the same no matter what choices you make, except affecting your role at this stage or other stage (pro-alliance or anti-alliance).”
