The game's story mode is praised for its emotional depth and character connection, but it suffers from unclear mission objectives and frequent interruptions in dialogue, which hinder progression and comprehension. While the narrative is primarily conveyed through cutscenes and character interactions, many players noted plot holes and a lack of coherence that detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, technical issues and gameplay mechanics complicate the storytelling further, leaving some players frustrated.
- “A very beautiful story mode that makes you feel connected to the characters.”
- “You need to discover many things at the beginning, and as you know the story you get to advance much further!”
- “The game's main progression is via various missions which can be selected in any order as well as an exploration mode, from what I’ve seen these usually consist of platforming puzzles on the way from point A to point B following a beacon.”
- “Sometimes we didn't know how to advance because in some of the missions there isn't a clear path to follow.”
- “Other than cutscenes, the mission descriptions and several character dialogues are the main source of storytelling; however, it's very easy to have characters interrupt each other, and with no way to review dialogue or objectives, this becomes a problem for both story and progression.”
- “This, alongside many hand-waved plot holes in the current story, only serves to undermine the experience.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing its simplicity and repetitiveness, particularly in quests and character abilities. Technical issues, such as bugs and unclear object interactions, further detract from the experience, making exploration feel tedious and unrewarding. While some minigame puzzles offer brief variety, they do not significantly enhance the overall gameplay.
- “In all honesty, the lack of movement options combined with the large cluttered landscape makes the general gameplay a chore and exploration unrewarding.”
- “There are a few minigame puzzles when opening certain doors or healing plants which help to vary up the gameplay, but they are more akin to palate cleansers than anything that truly challenges you.”
- “Quests feel very simple in design which isn't necessarily a bad thing if the core gameplay loop is fun and engaging, but I believe they could use a bit more variety here.”
- “Mechanically the game is a broken, buggy mess. I had to reset the game twice just attempting to get the tutorial mission to work. Object interaction wasn’t always clear and the landscape is littered with inescapable holes or invisible walls due to janky hitboxes.”

- “The music is very relaxing and will actually assist you in solving mysteries to save the planet.”
- “The music is pretty decent.”
