While some appreciate the nostalgic value and visual appeal, many criticize the lack of interactivity and the awkward adaptation of characters, arguing that it fails to enhance the original story. Overall, it serves as a basic introduction to the classic tale but may not satisfy those seeking a fresh or engaging experience.

- “The visual novel was rather boring and didn't feel like it added much to the story of Alice in Wonderland with its visuals.”
