The story is generally described as average, with a focus on a gentle and loving yuri romance that avoids explicit content. While some players appreciated the character development and engaging slice-of-life elements, others criticized the lack of a clear introduction and reliance on mundane dialogue. Overall, it offers a decent experience for fans of short lesbian romance narratives, especially when purchased on sale.

“Good story, and the developers have done a lot with a relatively limited amount of art assets.”
“I mean yeah, it might not have amazing art and it doesn't have voice acting or any cool features, but the mix of slice of life and lesbian romance story is nicely done and I had a good time reading.”
“There is no intro, no setup; everything one can glean about the plot is through dialogue mixed in with boring conversations.”
“They thought it could be good, but the story timeline was way off compared to the rest, even though it has its moments.”
“There was enough substance to the story and the characters to keep the entertainment factor fulfilled, though I did catch myself wishing that the time in the cafe had been for more than just a few days.”
