The gameplay is criticized for relying heavily on lengthy, poorly written visual novel text cutscenes, detracting from actual gameplay and failing to effectively convey the narrative through interactive mechanics. This approach leads to a frustrating experience where players spend more time reading than engaging with the game itself.

You'll spend a huge amount of time not playing the game, but clicking through endless lines of poorly written visual novel text cutscenes because the developers couldn't figure out how to relate their narrative through the game mechanics, and instead decided it would be better to compete with reading a book for your time.”
- “The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged for long periods.”
- “The controls are unresponsive and clunky, which detracts from the overall experience and makes even simple tasks frustrating.”
