The game features two independent storylines that tackle deep and relatable themes, with players expressing a preference for the male protagonist's narrative due to its emotional impact, despite it being shorter and less detailed than the female protagonist's story. While the storytelling is engaging and visually appealing, some reviewers noted a perceived bias in the depth of the female storyline compared to the male's, leading to mixed feelings about the overall narrative balance. Overall, the game is recommended for those seeking a quick yet meaningful visual novel experience that addresses serious teenage issues.
- “A wonderful short story, an introduction to a style of writing I can't wait to get more of.”
- “The story touched my heart and was inspiring; it felt more relatable to some of my own life situations.”

- “As for the story, I have no idea; I skipped over it.”
- “But yeah, the guy's story is kind of neglected compared to the girl's.”
- “The girl's story is full of details that just aren't present in the guy's story, which makes it strongly reek of bias and seems like the developer views women's issues as more severe than men.”
