The game's story is generally considered simple and straightforward, with a mix of engaging elements and translation errors that can hinder comprehension. While some players appreciate the yandere heroine theme and the time-limited exploration, others find the dialogue overly lengthy and the plot lacking depth. Overall, it offers a decent experience for a short game, with multiple endings adding to its replayability, but it may not be immersive or particularly memorable.

- “Interesting story short game, yet has replayability with its multiple endings.”
- “This game is designed very well and I love the storyline to it.”
- “Riddled with spelling and translation errors in a dialogue-heavy game, makes it hard to tell where the story is going or what needs to be done especially if you are an ESL individual.”
- “While the timer does stop for those lengthy phone calls, the dialogue is way too long-winded even for an RPG story game, and along with the protagonist's thoughts, were way too frequent, making this more of a dialogue clicking than gameplay itself given how short the real game was.”
- “If you're just looking for a short JRPG to play to pass time then totally go for it, but personally the story wasn't all that immersive and I wish there was more to it.”
