Does This Game Have A Story?

There might be a light theme but no story or plot or ending. The closest your going to get is the npcs have some kind of background. It extremely open ended, its what you make of it.

I heard in a review that there's a little bit of a story that ends around the time the game fully opens up, but it made it sound more like a lengthy tutorial, or background as to WHY you're here on that island. My guess is there'll be a tiny little story and then it's just what you make of it.

Yes. This is a sequel to New Leaf. At the end of New Leaf it was discovered that the town's mayor was a corrupt politician who was hoarding the villagers money and secretly running the village into the ground. One night the mayor attempted to skip town on a train with all of the villages money. The villager started a riot and captured the mayor.
This brings us to New Horizons. The mayor is now being forced into exile on a deserted island and being forced to do manual labor in lieu of jail time. He/She must now reflect on their life choices and choose their own path. It's a story of redemption really.

Proof? Or just a troll..? I can't really tell at this point

Just a joke I would assume haha, this game has never really catered to stories/storytelling just relaxing fun and no end-goals to meet at all : ) But as pointed out, there could be bits of something in here?

If anyone was hoarding money it was the villagers themselves!! I PAID FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR PWPs OUT OF MY OWN POCKET BY BREAKING MY BACK EVERY NIGHT FISHING FOR SHARKS ON THE ISLAND.
I'm innocent I tell you!! INNOCENT!

Found the American! Our healthcare really is expensive.
I wouldn't be surprised if we had some short NPC 'story' through dialogue, like we did in the older games. Like in City Folk, Tom Nook will tell you about Mabel and Sable's relationship with Labelle, and Mabel will tell you she's been receiving letters with money from a 'faraway relative', etc. It's not really a plot, just the game playing out some backstory.

i would love this! i remember hearing sable's story about tom nook and her birthday and it was honestly the cutest thing ever
AC's always had "lore", so to speak. The background of the Able Sisters and Sable's connection to Tom is a great example, along with Pelly and Pete's rumored relationship. I think that's what OP meant by story.
And yeah, it's been confirmed there's development of that kind in New Horizons, which is great. New Leaf didn't have much of that at all, it was pretty unchanging. Not even Isabelle developed that much as a character, it's odd to me.
