- The main character is mostly a blank slate, which some find makes it harder to emotionally engage, and some secondary characters lack depth or personality.

The story of A Perfect Day is a bittersweet, philosophical journey set in 1990s China, focusing on the life of an elementary schoolboy and evoking nostalgia for that era. While the plot is generationally specific, detailed background elements help immerse players unfamiliar with the period. The narrative gradually deepens, engaging players with its character mysteries and emotional depth, though some feel the gameplay can become repetitive after initial missions.
“A perfect day presents a bittersweet story, you will revisit the 90s and play an elementary schoolboy who lacks the courage to give a card to his favorite classmate.”
“Do play it if you are very interested in a deep, rewarding, and creative story about life as a kid in 1999 China.”
“As the story progresses, things start to fall into place and one can get really invested in unraveling the final bits of mystery surrounding every character.”
“Only thing is that the story plot is quite specific to a generation, so you need some knowledge of 90s China to enjoy the game fully.”
“I thought I was a student in the school, but I didn't expect that I was just a "tool" to promote the plot development of the game.”
“The game itself is pretty neat, but it falls off quickly after you complete a mission or two since you'd be repeating most of your progress.”
