The story in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its charm and engaging characters, while others found it predictable and lacking depth.

- “The story is very good, as is the voice acting.”

- “The story was fairly nonexistent; I wish there was more backstory and information about the characters involved in the plot.”
- “It would be okay if it was free, but paying for a game with a lame story that can be completed in a few hours and must then be deleted because you'll never want to play it again is really bad.”
