The game features a self-contained and lovingly crafted story that is both trippy and touching, though some players feel it could be more compelling. While the narrative flows evenly, it culminates in a sudden exposition dump, which may detract from the overall experience. Despite this, many users find it worth the price for those interested in short, story-driven games, especially given its engaging music.
