The current game experience lacks a fully developed story, with only a single level available in non-story mode focused on collecting orbs. However, players are enthusiastic about the upcoming story mode, which promises three chapters and additional content, indicating potential for a more engaging narrative in the future. Overall, while the introduction of the main character is noted positively, the anticipation for the story's expansion is a common sentiment among users.
“I can't wait for the upcoming story mode that is planned!”
“There appears to be 3 maps, 3 story mode chapters, and 4 classic modes on the way as well, but the price will increase as the game gets expanded, so I would suggest getting it sooner rather than later.”
“Currently there is no story and only one map for you to play on.”
“The only level available to play at the moment is level 1 of the non-story mode (there are many more levels and a story mode yet to come) and the idea is you need to find and collect 5 souls in the form of blue, glowing orbs.”
“It is said it will have a story with three chapters (one map per chapter).”

The gameplay of "Trinquol Cuve" is praised for its impressive mechanics and the evident effort put in by the developers, suggesting a high level of craftsmanship. While the battery reloading mechanic for the camera is noted as somewhat awkward, it does not significantly detract from the overall gameplay experience.
“However, this should not dissuade you from purchasing the game Trinquol Cuve, because it really is a work of art. You can tell the developers (of which there are a great deal, I am told) really put a lot of hard work and effort into the mechanics of the game over a lengthy period of time.”
“The battery mechanics are out of this world, as they are in the world of Tronquel Cive.”
“The camera battery reloading mechanic is kind of awkward, so that could use some polish.”
“However, it didn't really affect gameplay.”
