The story is interesting with multiple endings, and the performances of the actresses are commendable.
There are effective jump scares and a fun, albeit short, gameplay experience that can be enjoyed in one sitting.

The game is very short, taking about 1.4 to 1.5 hours to complete, which may leave players wanting more.
The English translation is poor, leading to confusion and awkward phrasing in the subtitles.
Gameplay is linear and limited, with minimal player choice, making it feel more like a passive viewing experience than an interactive game.
