- “The minigames are a lot of fun and the music and artwork are absolutely phenomenal!”
- “From the first seconds of launching the game and sitting at the starting screen, I already loved the music. It's just a chef's kiss how good the sound design and music are, and how well crafted and matched the audio with gameplay is.”
- “During very long play sessions, Nerissa's animation will go out of sync with the music, making the beats harder to identify.”
- “Demon of Sound and Soup - the visuals are endearing and the song is absolutely a banger, but it really could use a visual beat indicator like Crypt of the Necrodancer.”
- “All games could use some tweaks (the Nerissa rhythm game lacks some tuning and accessibility, for example), but the core present, the music and the presentation make me really wish for extended versions of all the games.”

Reviews indicate that grinding in these games can be tedious, particularly in Shiori's farming simulator, where players may find the mechanics repetitive over extended play. However, the integration of horror elements and strategic farming adds a unique twist, making the experience engaging despite the potential for monotony. Overall, while some players appreciate the challenge, others feel that the grinding aspect could benefit from more variety to maintain interest.
- “Grinding can be a rewarding experience if you enjoy the journey of leveling up your character.”
- “The grind is real, but it feels satisfying to see your hard work pay off in the end.”
- “Investing time in grinding allows you to unlock powerful abilities and gear that enhance your gameplay.”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “All you have to do is find a seed, refill the watering can, plant that, and cut it when it grows. It's a simple farming simulator; however, something will stare at you and you have to avoid it.”
- “Art in my opinion reminds me of the cool old school games back in SNES or arcade. I love Fuwamoco game mode; it's hard, challenging, and fun when controlling two characters at the same time. Shiori's game mode is interesting but maybe tedious when playing for long.”
