The story of "Welcome to Moreytown" is a brief yet intriguing narrative centered around a city of anthropomorphic animals grappling with themes of discrimination and societal issues, reminiscent of a darker, grittier version of "Zootopia." While the plot has potential and features engaging moments, many reviewers noted its short length, linear progression, and lack of depth in character development and lore, leading to a somewhat unsatisfactory experience. Overall, the game offers interesting choices and multiple endings, but the execution leaves players wanting more substance and complexity.
- “As others have mentioned, it is pretty short compared to most, but I don't feel like it failed in any way to tell its story.”
- “The story starts with your character discovering that their apartment's on fire; upon escaping, you discover your apartment fire could be leading to a much bigger threat that could shake Moreytown to its core.”
- “I found the writing to be very engaging and the plot very interesting.”
- “The characters' personalities and motivations were very simple or nonexistent, which matches the plot, which is also short and cliché.”

The game offers some replayability through interesting story paths and multiple endings, though many players find the short length (around 2 hours for a first playthrough) limits its overall appeal.

- “It's very short, but the replay value makes it worth it.”

The game features no graphics or flashy visuals, relying solely on text and multiple-choice prompts to engage players. This minimalist approach is praised for enhancing imagination and storytelling, making it accessible without the need for advanced hardware. The focus on narrative and character diversity compensates for the lack of visual elements, appealing to those who appreciate a rich, text-driven experience.
- “No graphics, no flashiness, just reading, multiple choice prompts, and some background stats that affect your chance of success when overpowering, sneaking around, persuading, etc. They also tend to be very open as far as your character's gender, gender identity, sexual orientation (including everything from 'anything that moves' to 'let's just keep things platonic, thanks') and more, which is nice.”
- “From what I think, the setting is perfect for this text-only mechanics because anything graphical would've destroyed the imagination that you have in your head.”
- “Regardless of my personal preferences, if you're looking for a game that's not at all asking for you to have the right graphics card and a story that's particularly engaging, I'd say this would be worth your time.”
