The story is presented in a humorous and exaggerated manner, with the user referencing real-life figures like Ben Bernanke and Jerome Powell in a fictional context that suggests a chaotic and absurd narrative. Overall, the review implies a strong engagement with the game's story, recommending it despite the bizarre circumstances described.
