The story of the game is described as a mix of intriguing elements and frustrating execution, with an interesting plot and mysterious characters overshadowed by poor quest design and convoluted storytelling. Players struggle with unclear objectives and a cluttered user interface, leading to confusion and a lack of engagement with the narrative, particularly with repetitive and filler quests like the infamous chicken quest. Overall, while there are promising aspects, the delivery detracts significantly from the overall experience.
- “Good old-school indie RPG with an interesting plot and mysterious characters!”
- “There are a few really obtuse quests you have to go through, such as finding a chest, lockpicking the chest (using an interesting lockpicking system that with a little work could have been good to great, there's promise there).”
- “This makes it hard to follow the story.”
- “- The majority of the quests are just filler that you have to complete in order to progress towards the main objective of the game.”
- “So the story tries to tell me he got bit by 'someone', then drank the wrong potion, and became a chicken now.”

Additionally, the use of generic, stock music further diminishes the game's uniqueness and appeal.
- “The music and text announcing a new area play over each other, creating a constant loop where the forest zone music and town music overlap, making it confusing and frustrating.”
- “The game features stock models, stock animations, stock scenery, stock sounds, and stock music, which makes it feel unoriginal and uninspired.”
