The gameplay of this visual/interactive novel is criticized for being shallow and unengaging, primarily consisting of clicking through poorly written dialogue and answering repetitive questions based on prompts. Many users question the quality of the writing and how such a product made it onto Steam, highlighting a lack of meaningful interaction or depth in the gameplay experience.
- “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written Russian dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, 'how did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
- “While it's structured as an e-book (using Clickteam's template/engine components for visual novels), the gameplay is more shallow as you just answer repetitive questions with answers taken from a prompt shown at the start of the 'game'.”

grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Users find the grinding aspect of visual novels and e-books to be tedious, likening the experience to a frustratingly slow reading process where players must click to progress through text, detracting from the enjoyment of the narrative. This repetitive clicking can make engaging stories feel laborious and less immersive.
- “Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you want to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”
