The story is generally considered mediocre, described as a chaotic blend of dark comedy and over-the-top violence reminiscent of "Pulp Fiction," but lacking in originality and depth. Critics note that the rushed relationship between the main characters feels superficial and that the narrative, while structured, is too brief and unengaging, leading some players to skip portions of it. Overall, it fails to deliver a compelling or interesting plot.
“It really is a dark comedy of errors, and the fact the story takes place mostly in two days just adds to it.”
“"Pulp fiction with lesbians" is an apt description, at least regarding the over-the-top stylized violence.”
“The story structure is well thought out but incredibly short.”
“The story is mediocre at best.”
“It is a mess of a story about a couple of West Coast American lesbian mafia girls who go after a cousin because she set up a casino on the first girl's turf.”
“Most of the scenes in the story are horribly modified scenes from pulp fiction written by Japanese authors trying to sound American, complete with dumb slang.”

The graphics are widely criticized as mediocre, featuring low-resolution 800x600 visuals that resemble pixelated 8-bit photos of real locations, overlaid with poorly designed sprites. Additionally, the Steam release suffers from graphical censorship, which can be partially remedied with a mosaic-censored patch found online. Overall, the visuals contribute to a disappointing gaming experience.
“The graphics are pretty poor -- it looks like the backgrounds are 8-bit color pixelated photos of real locations (Las Vegas, Los Angeles, etc.) with sprites drawn on top all in 800x600 resolution.”
“As far as the Steam release -- it is censored graphically though you can pick up a patch if you search the interwebs, but it's a mosaic-censored patch.”
“A flimsy script, lousy graphics, cheesy h-scenes, and an ending that would fit better in some 80s American cartoon just makes me wish I had never even bought the game.”

The background music initially received a positive reception but became grating for players, leading many to turn it off midway through the game.
