The game's story is criticized for being dry, uninspired, and lacking urgency, with many reviewers noting that it suffers from poor character development and minimal meaningful interactions. While some players find the narrative intriguing despite language barriers, the overall delivery is seen as lacking depth and engagement, making it difficult to fully appreciate without a complete translation. The mixed language interface may appeal to some, but many feel that the story's complexity and emotional weight are lost without proper localization.
“The story is absolutely riveting and feels almost real.”
“Despite the fact that all the text is Chinese, the storytelling is so great that I can understand what is happening; I can feel the emotions of the characters in a way that surpasses the boundaries of language.”
“The story mode is diversified and there are many paths we can choose.”
“But with a dry, uninspired, uneventful story with no sense of urgency, stakes, or danger coupled with its bland characters and gameplay leaves a bad taste in my mouth.”
“The gameplay and main story are a wash, but the characters could have been fun, witty, and had meaningful interactions, but it's just not there.”
“Because this story is complex, it is difficult to play without a more complete translation.”

The gameplay of this Touhou Project fangame is described as initially bearable but quickly becomes tedious, with a lack of meaningful mechanics and character interactions. While it features two distinct modes, the overall experience is marred by poorly explained mechanics and an unengaging story, leading to a sense of monotony and frustration. Despite a seemingly large cast, only a few characters stand out, contributing to a disappointing gameplay loop.
“With that out of the way, let's get into the thick of it, starting with the gameplay.”
“Gameplay consists of two distinct modes.”
“Don't even get me started on the gameplay and the beautiful art.”
“The gameplay is bearable for the first few hours, but slowly becomes more and more of a chore, the only real change being in enemy levels.”
“The gameplay and main story are a wash, but the characters could have been fun, witty, and have meaningful interactions, but it's just not there.”
“But with a dry, uninspired, uneventful story with no sense of urgency, stakes, or danger, coupled with its bland characters and gameplay, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.”

The graphics in the game are limited, with a small selection of visuals reused across numerous items, despite the presence of extensive flavor text for each. This results in a lack of visual diversity, as many items share the same graphic based on their type.
“It seemed there were lots of items in the game, each with flavor text, but there were only a tiny handful of graphics for them, with each item sharing a graphic depending on its type.”
