The story in this game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it confusing, bizarre, or lacking depth compared to similar titles like "The Tiny Bang Story" and "My Brother Rabbit." While some appreciate the unique art style and humor, others feel the narrative detracts from the gameplay, describing it as unnecessary or poorly executed. Overall, players suggest focusing on the puzzles rather than the story, which often feels disjointed and unengaging.
“The story was interesting and I'd love to see more games like it :)”
“Beautiful illustration and captivating story.”
“The background story did nothing to enhance the game and had a very tenuous link to what was going on in the gameplay.”
“The story itself is very surrealistic and not suitable for small children.”
“The voiceovers all sound like Google text-to-speech, and the actual plot presented in the cutscenes doesn't really seem to fit in with the gameplay.”
