The game's story is generally viewed as underdeveloped, with many players feeling it takes a backseat to gameplay mechanics. While some appreciate the intriguing backstory and beautiful illustrations, they desire a more integrated and fleshed-out narrative throughout the game, rather than a lengthy introduction. Overall, the story has potential but requires better presentation and incorporation into the gameplay experience.

- “Great story with a very cute art style.”
- “For a game with a story behind it, being suspended in space away from the rest of the world I apparently care so much about feels like the story is an afterthought to the idea behind the mechanics.”
- “I'd love to have the story fleshed out more or maybe have the story narrated; the illustrations you have are lovely, so you can expand upon that style.”
- “The 'opening' is maybe a chapter's worth of story that should either be displayed in a larger box (spread across a couple of clickable pages) or it should be a scrollable section where it currently is.”

- “So if you're a gamer, you're wondering which mechanic you missed because of how minimalist the gameplay is, and if you're not, you don't even know where to click and what to do at first.”
