The story is generally perceived as straightforward and somewhat cliché, revolving around two amnesiac characters navigating a monster-filled world in search of answers. While some players appreciate its simplicity and the nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic RPGs, many criticize the lack of depth in character backgrounds and motivations, leading to a bland narrative experience. Overall, the story serves as a basic framework for gameplay rather than a compelling narrative journey.
- “I enjoyed playing around with the battle system, and the story is simple yet refreshing in my eyes.”
- “The story in this game is quite straightforward, two people who have amnesia wake up in a foggy forest (Clymene and Zarth) because the place they wake up is filled with monsters due to a catastrophe; they both decide to work together to walk through the place and look for a way out, so they finally meet with Schar, a former knight who used to work for a kingdom that had been destroyed by monsters.”
- “I really enjoyed some moments, especially when I was in the village and the story scene.”
- “The story is short and linear; I was kind of disappointed when I thought we would progress and adventure through the world by visiting various cities.”
- “Talk about story mode started with a normal cliché amnesia guy in the middle of nowhere. At least at first, you would love to know more about the character, but the problem comes afterward when we get party members with a lack of motivation. For example, you meet someone in the dungeon who asks to join you, but he ends up joining you instead. Other future party members join without any motivation or background, leading to a lack of knowledge about each character's background and origin.”
- “The main story is relatively short, and I already beat all the optional content in under 10 hours.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring enjoyable mechanics reminiscent of classic JRPGs like Final Fantasy and Octopath Traveler, though some players lament the lack of exploration due to the fast travel system.

- “I would recommend this game because the price is quite cheap and worth it for the content, gameplay, art style, and music.”

- “The game has simple gameplay, no competitive elements, only a game that focuses on idling.”
- “I would understand why they chose that direction based on the gameplay itself; it's been discussed whether it should be DLC content from a bigger game.”
