The story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with players feeling thrust into a series of tasks without any meaningful narrative context. Instead of a compelling plot, the gameplay is driven by simplistic quest markers and directional signs, detracting from the overall experience. While the graphics are noted for their storybook quality, they do little to compensate for the absence of a substantial storyline.
- “The story is basically non-existent; you jump right into being ordered what to do, chasing a quest marker for no apparent reason, being led by signs saying '1', '2', '3' so that even the last idiot knows where to go next.”

Gameplay is generally perceived as clunky, with issues in combat and movement mechanics that can lead to motion sickness. However, players appreciate the use of color to represent characters, enhancing feedback during gameplay, though there are suggestions to increase the size of ability icons for better visibility.
- “I like how you choose a color to represent each character; this makes the feedback much better and faster during gameplay. However, I think it would be beneficial to increase the size of the ability icons on the screen.”
- “Gameplay, combat, and movement is clunky.”

The humor in the game is largely derived from its awkward controls and absurd gameplay mechanics, such as a character on an island who cannot swim, leading to unintentional comedic moments. However, this humor is overshadowed by the overall lack of content, prompting some users to recommend against the game until improvements are made.
- “This will sound funny, but my first action in the game was to die. It's really weird to have the character in a place like an island and they simply can't swim, not even in the rivers.”
