While some appreciate the well-written characters and atmosphere, others find the storytelling lengthy, uneven, and occasionally unengaging. Overall, the narrative shows promise but could benefit from tighter writing and more development.

    • “The story was unique, and I haven't seen any other works with quite the same concept, so that's a plus.”

    The music receives mixed feedback, with some praising it for fitting the scenes, setting the mood, and evoking a retro 90s vibe, while others criticize it as awful, frequently cutting out, and lacking variation to enhance intense moments. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as decent to good by some but poorly executed by others.

    • “The music was great at setting the pace and mood of the story.”
    • “Sprites of main heroes look terrible - none of them look even remotely good, and the soundtrack is just awful. The game is poorly made, so from time to time the soundtrack just cuts off.”
    • “The game often struggles to create a thrilling atmosphere. There are many brutal scenes that were supposed to feel intense and grotesque, but due to minimal changes in the music and sound effects, combined with a lack of illustrations, they feel rather flat.”
    • “The retro style (modern widescreen presentation aside) feels like something from the 90's Japan in terms of story, music, character design, etc., which might not appeal to everyone.”
