The game's story is a mixed bag, with some players praising its unique and engaging narrative that weaves together rich character development and meaningful quests, while others criticize it for being linear, repetitive, and poorly executed. Many highlight the immersive world and the player's active role in shaping the story, but there are also complaints about grammar issues and a lack of direction. Overall, the storytelling is seen as a significant strength for some, while others find it lacking in depth and originality.
- “The game’s storytelling deserves to be recognized as a masterful feat.”
- “Each character, dialogue, and plot twist feels deliberate, adding to a story that unfolds like an ancient scroll - every roll revealing something new yet intimately connected to the whole.”

- “This is one of hundreds of low-effort retro-pixel JRPG ripoffs spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit. In their own words, 'our easy-to-use tools are simple enough for a child.' Like all RPG Maker 'games', this is essentially a bunch of low-quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a very low-effort storyline.”
- “Your giving very little sense of direction and a subpar story.”
- “Too linear (the game limits you always to a very confined area), too many story characters (uncles, kings, generals, princes, etc.) and unchallenging bosses, too many character levels and useless skills, too repetitive towns compose a confusing story with a cringeworthy romance and moralizing that contains language mistakes.”
