The reviews indicate that the game lacks a structured narrative, with players encouraged to use their imagination to create their own stories within the gameplay. While some users appreciate the creative potential and world-building aspects, there are significant frustrations regarding compatibility with Oculus Quest 2 and 3, which detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the game's storytelling is more about personal interpretation than a defined plot.

The gameplay has received high praise, with users highlighting its engaging experience and value for a budget title. However, some note that it lacks traditional gameplay elements, functioning more as a diorama builder than a conventional game.
“Gameplay: 10/10”
“Ever since I watched Camodo Gaming's TTVR gameplay as a kid, I've wanted to play this game. I just got a Rift a couple of days ago and this was the first game I bought for it.”
“I have just over 2 hours of gameplay so far and I have to say, for a small cheap game, it is really good.”
“It's not a game per se, there's no actual gameplay involved but it's a diorama builder!”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be both time-consuming and enjoyable, requiring significant effort to build and customize their towns or cities. This blend of tedium and fun creates a unique experience, likened to crafting a 3D comic book.
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“You put together your little town or city by hand, which is both tedious and fun (strange combo, but it works!) -- then you get to place people and speech bubbles to make a sort of 3D comic book.”
