The game's story is a mixed bag, featuring intriguing characters and a blend of biblical themes that some players find engaging while others deem forced and confusing. The narrative follows a group of five characters on a coincidental journey, with a pacing that many reviewers feel is too rapid, making it difficult to follow. While exploration and optional quests enhance the experience, the overall execution leaves room for improvement, particularly in clarity and depth.
- “The story itself is interesting; you switch between three characters, and eventually, they all come together to start an adventure together.”
- “So far, the plot has a steady climb, leaving me wanting to play more.”
- “Net: this is an amateur game made with RPG Maker, but I found it well worth playing this story-driven adventure.”
- “The story is so forced and thin it makes me vomit a little in my mouth.”
- “It does seem that the story is too fast-paced, as it was kind of hard for me to follow what was actually going on in the story.”
- “I played less than an hour and the game is a bit boring; the storyline doesn't seem to be very straightforward and I got lost on which way to go most of the time.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with players noting that it effectively complements the gameplay and story.

However, there are suggestions for further improvement, such as creating more custom sound effects and music to enrich the atmosphere.
- “Great art and characters, great music, good story for its class.”
- “The music is fitting with what is happening at the time. I can tell that some of the music is from the default music from RPG Maker, but others are custom made, which makes it a little bit better than those lazy RPG Maker games.”
- “Slow down the pacing of the story and changing some of the music to custom would be great.”
- “The music is fitting with what is happening at the time, but I can tell that some of it is from the default music from RPG Maker. Others are custom made, which makes it a little better than those lazy RPG Maker games.”

While grinding is essential for progression, it often leads to a sense of futility, as some encounters render previous efforts meaningless.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “The game is not only unsuitable for some players, but it is also too reliant on grinding to make it enjoyable.”
- “However, there were always times when I had to stop and spend some time grinding to beat a boss.”
- “I won't spoil much when I say that you can't win the first battle and virtually can't lose the second battle 'for story reasons', thus revealing all grinding to have been utterly futile.”
