The story of "Ami's Room" is praised for its cohesive narrative involving a boy, his sister, and a friend, offering a blend of traditional RPG elements and walking simulator mechanics. However, players note that the experience is marred by bugs and confusing gameplay, which detracts from the storytelling and can make progression frustrating. Despite these issues, many appreciate the themes and artistic presentation, suggesting that with more polish, the story could shine even brighter.
- “Ami's Room is a traditional RPG Maker game that tells the story of a boy, his sister, and his friend.”
- “I absolutely loved the story and themes.”
- “I enjoy the art, the story, the puzzles.”
- “What makes the blatant story cues bad, in my opinion, is how much time you have in between, how little direction you get, and how confusing it all is just to get from point A to B, even in the more straightforward scenes.”
- “In a way, all of this works to create an interesting way to perceive it, maybe even how it's supposed to be received: confusing, constantly changing, and empty, because that's (in essence) the storyline we see here.”
- “Overall, I feel like Ami's Room could have used more love and careful detailing on its gameplay and story.”

The music in the game is described as hauntingly beautiful, evoking a classic RPG horror atmosphere reminiscent of titles like "Ib" and "Yume Nikki." Reviewers appreciate how the ambient soundtrack enhances the emotional depth of the game, effectively setting the tone for various scenes and contributing to its overall eerie aesthetic. Many consider it one of the standout features, particularly for its ability to evoke feelings during the game's more somber moments.
- “It has an amazing visual style for both the pixel art and the dialogue portraits/digital pieces such as the background, and the music/ambient music sets the tone and better helps to elicit the feelings it wants you to feel in the respective sections.”
- “It's definitely in my top 10 as far as eerie, empty-sounding soundtracks go for the longer, more dreary parts.”
- “Very sad, pretty music, has a classic RPG horror feel to it... a bit like a mix of Ib, Dreaming Mary, and Yume Nikki vibes.”

The gameplay in "Ami's Room" is criticized for its confusing mechanics and lack of clear direction, often leading to player frustration and dissatisfaction due to unexpected deaths and the need to reload saves. While some aspects are noted as simple yet complex, the overall experience feels underdeveloped and lacking in rewarding payoff.
- “Gameplay was simple yet complex.”
- “I would wager that there isn't a lot of payoff to Ami's Room either, with mistakes or confusing gameplay mechanics ringing hollow and leaving you feeling dissatisfied at having to reload your save. It's frustrating that you didn't save before a point where the game kills you (which, in a few instances, you have no way of knowing), leaving players confused and sometimes baffled at what to do.”
- “Overall, I feel like Ami's Room could have used more love and careful detailing on its gameplay and story.”
