The story aspect of the game is not directly addressed in the user feedback, which primarily focuses on control issues specific to the Oculus Quest 2. While players note some initial challenges with the headset compatibility, they eventually adapt to the gameplay, suggesting that the narrative may be engaging once the technical hurdles are overcome.
