The story of the game is engaging and features multiple playthroughs that reveal different aspects and plot twists, keeping players invested throughout. While it incorporates elements of romance, the narrative primarily focuses on themes of trust and deception, particularly in the context of sudden wealth and scams. Despite some minor plot inconsistencies, the overall experience is praised for its intriguing characters and satisfying conclusions, making it a worthwhile play for fans of visual novels.
“Not only does it convey a realistic story about a person dealing with the problems that come with sudden wealth, but also makes the main character (and the reader) learn a very interesting life lesson.”
“I really liked how all the storylines came together in the end; it was very satisfying.”
“The story is excellent at building on itself and teasing out the details, so if you want an afternoon or evening with a good plot (and pretty boys), this will fit the bill.”
“Some parts of the story are very dark as well, so be warned – I can’t say it often enough: the tags of this game are not a joke!”
“Honestly, I didn't believe them. I was smirking while clicking continue all the time thinking I'm mature and experienced enough not to be affected by that story to that extent I'd be ready to quit, but if only not the vague hope of a happy ending (and I wasn't sure it was even there till the very end), perhaps I'd actually drop it.”
“Gosh, perhaps it's gonna be spoilerish a little bit, but the story is made this way that no matter how smart you may believe you are, you are just trapped in such conditions that you have no choice but to act according to those scammers' plan.”

The gameplay is characterized by a short duration and an intriguing plot, blending traditional otome mechanics with elements reminiscent of Doki Doki Literature Club. Players engage through choice-based interactions and a gacha mechanic, adding a unique and humorous twist to the visual novel experience. Overall, while it may follow familiar visual novel conventions, it offers a distinctive and enjoyable gameplay experience.
“I enjoyed this otome — the gameplay was quite unique (and funny too).”
“Who doesn't like a gacha mechanic in a visual novel game?”
“Let’s talk about the gameplay instead: while the whole 'make a choice by clicking a button' aspect is very similar to an otome, the game has also some features that are very reminiscent of Doki Doki Literature Club.”
“Also, there's a gacha mechanic.”
“I completely handwaved all of that, thinking hey, it's just visual novel stuff, and just story mechanics to get things rolling.”
