The gameplay is generally praised for its smoothness and balance of challenge, offering engaging mechanics like alchemy and solid combat for an RPG Maker title. Players appreciate the nostalgic feel and the depth of the story, although some note that the mix of RPG and visual novel elements can occasionally clash. Overall, the game provides a competent and enjoyable experience, with a variety of options and mechanics that enhance the gameplay.
- “Gameplay is smooth, with a good balance of challenge without being frustrating.”
- “Stayed for the well-done nostalgic gameplay, surprisingly charming characters, obvious love the devs put in, and a story so much more evolved than I expected from a game like this.”
- “I have to say I love it, mostly because it exploits the strengths and weaknesses of said engine, overcoming the limitations it has while delivering a really enjoyable gameplay experience and story.”
- “After the first playthrough, the remaining runs for the other routes get reduced to 5-10 hours thanks to the New Game Plus mechanic, which not only allows you to carry over your level and equipment but also lets you skip the first 12 in-game days by simply choosing what you would have to decide while finishing all quests within that time.”
- “On the mechanics side, there are random graphics freezes, several objects with incorrect hit detection, and objects on incorrect layers. On the gameplay side, the mix of RPG and visual novel seems like both halves are trying to destroy each other.”
- “I found myself spending most of my time fighting monsters and doing quests and puzzles, which is surprising because I expected a visual novel with minor gameplay additions.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the vibrant and cute character designs, as well as the high-quality cutscene art. However, the RPG Maker sprites and exploration graphics are often described as simplistic and dated, leading to a disparity in visual quality throughout the game. Overall, while the artwork is appreciated, some players feel that the graphical execution could be improved, particularly in the overworld and combat animations.
- “The graphical quality of the game is good - the visual novel parts, spiced up with occasional CGs, alone could make for a great game. The combat sprites are decently animated, and even the pixel art of the overworld assets received quite a bit of custom love.”
- “Visuals: if you are a fellow fan of vibrant, vivid, and colorful designs, you'll like this game.”
- “The graphics are cute and fitting for the game. The CGs are nicely drawn, if sometimes a bit simpler than I would have liked, but that is offset by the tastefulness of the chosen scenes.”
- “The CG artworks are divided into two halves: one that is high quality and another that is far more simplistic, as if they were drawn by two different artists of differing skill levels or had to be rushed for whatever reason.”
- “The exploration graphics are plain and somewhat low quality - a far cry from the other great art in the game.”
- “Clunky controls, garbage graphics, messy story.”

- “The music was great, and the battle system was fun.”
- “I especially love the background music when you enter Fleurelle.”
- “Music/sound/voice: 8/10 epic normal and boss battle music, relaxing tunes for each town, and excellent voice acting with a stellar cast.”
- “The music is extremely generic.”
- “If you search 'fantasy RPG background music' on YouTube, you’ll probably find something similar.”
- “The music is classic visual novel/old school RPG style; there are some really lovely tunes, but overall, you can consider the OST as the game's weakest link, being somewhat generic.”

- “The turn-based combat is decent, but it will definitely get overly grindy if you want to get all the achievements.”

- “The game should just be balanced around the mandatory fights and get rid of all the grinding.”
