Great storytelling that evokes a melancholic vibe, reminiscent of famous sci-fi moments.
Beautiful art style that balances visual effects with character actions, showcasing the author's intention.
Offers a unique emotional experience, with a short yet impactful ending.

Primarily an e-book with poorly written dialogue, lacking notable gameplay and depth.
Misleadingly presented as a game on Steam, which is not an appropriate platform for such content.
Failed to attract a significant audience, even being free, due to its low quality compared to other available literature.

The game's story features a largely disconnected sci-fi backstory, but it primarily revolves around poorly executed fan-fiction centered on an imaginary girlfriend. While some praise the storytelling as beautiful, the overall narrative quality is criticized for being subpar.
- “Great storytelling”
- “Very beautiful storytelling.”
- “There's a mostly unrelated sci-fi backstory, but the primary focus is the nauseatingly bad fan fiction about the imaginary girlfriend.”

Users find the grinding aspect of visual novels and e-books to be tedious and slow, likening the experience to a frustratingly drawn-out reading process where each sentence requires a click to advance. This can create a sense of lethargy and oppression, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the narrative.
- “Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you wanted to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”
- “Although lethargic, tedious, and maybe a little oppressive for me at that time, this film truly developed my taste in films and extended the purview of my understanding about them.”

The gameplay of this visual/interactive novel is criticized for being minimal, primarily consisting of clicking through poorly written dialogue that detracts from the overall experience, raising concerns about its quality and suitability for publication.
- “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print. This poses the question, 'How did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
