The story of the game has been widely criticized for its lack of coherence, depth, and originality, with many reviewers noting that it feels unfinished and lacks essential backstory. Players find the plot to be overly simplistic and short, leaving them with more questions than answers, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite its low price, the narrative shortcomings make it difficult to recommend the game.

“The humor in this game is so clever; I couldn't stop laughing at the unexpected twists and witty dialogue.”
“Every character has a unique sense of humor that keeps the gameplay light-hearted and entertaining.”
