The game's story is described as short but engaging, with a mix of cute and darker themes, including elements of BDSM and taboo subjects. Players appreciate the linear narrative structure and the inclusion of multiple endings, particularly enjoying the depth added by the after story. While some found the plot lacking, many praised its entertainment value, character development, and the overall integration of story with gameplay elements like puzzles and art.
- “The story is short but sweet; they don't drag it out for any longer than it should.”
- “While it's a very short game, the story plays out like a movie without filler.”
- “What makes this game so much better than others of its ilk is a consistent focus on character and story.”
- “The story was lame and I did not want to continue playing.”
- “Would probably like this more if everything came to the darker conclusion that is ending 2, instead of the absurd, implausible ending 3 + after story.”
- “When judging the parts individually – be it the puzzles, the artwork, the length of the game or the storytelling – you’ll be hard pressed to find something that stands out positively in comparison to other lewd RPGs.”

The graphics of the game feature a retro 16-bit pixel art style that evokes early 90s point-and-click adventures, with fluid animations that enhance the overall experience.

- “When judging the parts individually – be it the puzzles, the artwork, the length of the game or the storytelling – you’ll be hard pressed to find something that stands out positively in comparison to other lewd RPGs.”

The gameplay is generally described as linear but enjoyable, featuring engaging puzzles and a pixelated art style that facilitates smooth transitions between gameplay and cutscenes. However, many users note the short duration, with some completing the game in about an hour, and suggest waiting for a sale due to its relatively high price for the amount of content offered. Overall, while the gameplay has its merits, the brevity and cost are significant considerations.

- “Great scenes, great puzzles, great gameplay, and three endings with extra (hidden) content for a good price.”
- “The gameplay's linear, but fun enough.”

- “The downside is the short gameplay; you can finish the game in 1 hour if you know what to do.”
- “Still recommending for the other scenes and the gameplay, but yikes, that scene is rough.”

The music in the game is described as a repetitive loop that, while not particularly engaging, is not irritating. Sound effects are minimal but appropriate, and the limited voice acting is well-executed. Overall, the music received a score of 7/10, indicating a decent but unremarkable auditory experience.
- “The few 'jump-startles' and evil-sounding music weren't enough to bother me, and I usually stay clear of the horror genre.”
- “The sound, however, can't quite compete: the music is practically one short loop, though it's not getting on your nerves, sound effects are sparse, but fitting, and the only voiced parts are the h elements (and you can figure what kind of voice parts those are - at least they're well done).”
- “Music - 7/10”
- “The sound, however, can't quite compete: the music is practically one short loop, though it's not getting on your nerves. Sound effects are sparse, but fitting, and the only voiced parts are the horror elements (and you can figure out what kind of voice parts those are - at least they're well done).”
