The plot thickens!
This video review the entire plot of Palworld so far.

I think we can get a solid idea whats going on already. The plot isnt by any means something complex or unique. Not at all.
But there is one aspect that makes me feel the storytelling of Palworld kinda unique: that the developers made ZERO effort to tell the story to the players!
There is no discussion that there is something going on in Palpagos. But none really tells the players any bit of information. If the player wants the information, he needs to go really out of his way to grab the memo notes scattered in a very large world map. You dont have any hint where the memos are, nor how many are. And the memos itself dont even talk to the players. They arent more than tower bosses chitchatting to themselves, and eventually spilling relevant information about the world. And it can even not have any important info at all!
Palworld really leaves to the player a huge amount of effort if they want to know whats going on. From finding memos, to reading those gibberishes, to make sense of each of them, to make the relation between memos, and finally to fill holes in the story told with assumptions, as most tower bosses also dont have a clue of whats going on.
That massive effort to understand the plot makes this world pretty obscure and mysterious. And the mystery wasn’t completely solved yet!
