The game's story is criticized for being extremely short, consisting of only three missions that lack depth and variety, often feeling like a mere framework for gameplay rather than a compelling narrative. While some players appreciate the atmosphere and character development, many find the missions repetitive and the overall storytelling weak, with suggestions for more content and cutscenes to enhance the experience. Despite its shortcomings, the game has potential, and the visuals and soundtrack are noted as redeeming qualities.

“Anime character purchased then thrown into an asset map not in the same graphics type.”
“The visuals as a whole appear to be asset flips, from some mysterious Unity store and/or the developers' other works.”
