The game's story is generally perceived as minimal and lacking depth, with many players noting a lack of clear introduction and motivation. Interaction is primarily limited to quest givers, and the narrative unfolds slowly, often feeling disjointed and unengaging.

“The game just sort of sticks you into a tutorial immediately with no backstory or motivation, and then you can walk north from there into a town where most people will not talk to you; you can use the 'talk to' button on merchants to buy their wares but they won't say anything.”
