    • “Unfortunately, it turned out to have very little in the way of story and is very short.”
    • “This game is barely a game, more like a collection of poorly made minigames with a story that doesn't do much either.”

  • grinding48 mentions

    Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and frustrating, with many segments requiring repetitive tasks that detract from the overall enjoyment.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”

While the narrative is compelling, it seems that the game is primarily designed for a single, immersive experience rather than repeated playthroughs.
