The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth and engaging content, with many quests described as boring and some hindering progress. While it begins with a mysterious backstory and a tutorial-like quest structure that introduces survival mechanics, players often find themselves completing only a few quests before losing interest. The narrative primarily revolves around finding characters like "Uncle Roger" to unlock further quests, but overall, the storytelling feels underdeveloped and fails to captivate players.
“I enjoy games when your character has a vague, mysterious backstory, and that’s how this one starts off.”
“Once finding Uncle Roger, the player can start a dialog with him to proceed in the story and obtain the next quests, as well as learn some backstory about how we ended up here.”
“The player can choose between continuing the main quest after the tutorial quest, where they learn the basics, or exploring the island and doing available side quests.”
“There is not much content in this game; the quests are boring.”
“Including some really bad ones that prevent you from continuing the story.”
“The main quest will be to teach the player how to cook, gather resources, craft, build, fight, and simply survive, like a small tutorial.”

The game's optimization has received mixed feedback; while some users with lower-end systems still recommend purchasing it, others criticize its lack of optimization and the presence of bugs, particularly for VR users. Many hope for future updates to improve performance and quality of life features.
“However, I am giving a negative review to this game because not only is the game not well-optimized, which granted, it doesn't support VR and VR can be very taxing on a PC, but also because I encountered several bugs that are not related to just VR.”
“While it could use a bit more optimization, if you run a potato like me, don't be shy to buy the game.”
“Might come back to this game once/if it gets optimized and has quality of life improvements.”
