The gameplay is criticized for being overly simplistic, primarily consisting of reading and making binary choices that lead to limited outcomes. While some players may find enjoyment in exploring darker, more deviant paths, the overall experience is deemed lacking and repetitive.
“Gameplay is reduced to reading and choosing your poison; it will end in A or B, and you read along the way. If you enjoy being a little mean and exploring some 'deviant' ways, you might have fun 'torturing' this high school girl.”
