The emotional aspect of the game evokes a powerful blend of warmth and nostalgia, likened to the comforting yet intense experience of staring into a fireplace during Christmas. Players feel a deep connection to the game's themes, which are underscored by the tension of losing progress or items, heightening the emotional stakes and engagement.
“It's like staring at the fireplace for too long and getting all the loose fiery particles in your eyes, the burning sensation of a heartwarming Christmas, stone-cold snow, and melting irises.”

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it requires an excessive time commitment and that achievements earned through grinding do not contribute to their overall game completion status, rendering their efforts seemingly pointless.
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“Worst of all, despite being store-bought, the achievements don't count towards the 'perfect games' for your profile, so all your tedious efforts will virtually be for nothing and the game developers won't do a thing about that.”
