The story continues the lighthearted, slice-of-life narrative from the first game, focusing on character development and humor, though it lacks significant depth and a satisfying conclusion. While the game is structured as a visual novel with no player choices, it offers a charming experience for fans of the original, albeit with a linear plot that some may find underwhelming. Overall, it serves as a brief, enjoyable revisit to beloved characters, but players should not expect a complex or conclusive storyline.
“This game carried over all of the things I loved from the first one: lovable characters, great music, and a silly, slice of life story.”
“The storyline of this game is great and all the characters have so much more depth to them now.”
“I really love how they continue with the story.”
“The story is a continuation of the first game, and without giving story spoilers, all I can say is that the story just didn't seem to go anywhere.”
“There was no climax or anything in the story, and the ending just seemed to come out of nowhere; it didn't feel like an ending whatsoever.”
“Even though the story was interesting, I expected a 'game' (to have at least some influence on the story) and not an interactive storybook where all I do is press the spacebar to continue the dialog...”

The gameplay in this sequel has shifted significantly from its predecessor, transitioning to a linear visual novel format with no interactive elements, choices, or exploration. While some players may appreciate this change for its focus on story and characters, others may find the lack of gameplay disappointing, especially those who enjoyed the time management and exploration aspects of the first game. Overall, the gameplay is minimal, with a score of 6/10, and is best suited for those who prioritize narrative over interactive gameplay.
“Some people may miss Cherry Tree High Comedy Club (the older game) gameplay, where you could do some random tasks, talk with people, and walk around town, but the story is still great.”
“Although it doesn't continue the time management gameplay of the last game (to my sadness, somewhat), this one is a short, sweet, and linear visual novel.”
“Pick this up if you enjoyed Cherry Tree High Comedy Club more for the story and characters rather than the gameplay/simulation aspect.”
“There is no gameplay, and it is a linear storyline you follow.”
“Secondly, the game isn't a game; it's a visual novel. You watch episodic content and press enter, no choices, no exploration, and no gameplay, unlike its predecessor which offered all of the aforementioned.”
“Although it doesn't continue the time management gameplay of the last game (to my sadness, somewhat), this one is a short, sweet, and linear visual novel with no branching paths.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating the nostalgic and enjoyable soundtrack, despite it being mostly reused from the first installment.

The soundtrack has prompted interest in purchasing it, highlighting its lasting appeal among fans.
“This game carried over all of the things I loved from the first one: lovable characters, great music, and a silly, slice of life story.”
“The music, despite mostly being reused, was wonderful to listen to again after all these years, so much so that I'll probably get around to buying the soundtrack soon, if it's available.”
“There are some typos in the visual novel, but the dialogue of the characters shines through and the music was enjoyable!”
“With there being no gameplay, there are really just a few things to review, the music and scenery is pretty much all just reused from the first game, so there's not much to talk about there.”
“There are some typos in the visual novel, but the dialog of the characters shines through and the music was enjoyable!”
“The music, despite mostly being reused, was wonderful to listen to again after all these years, so much so that I'll probably get around to buying the soundtrack soon, if it's available, that is (don't recall).”

The humor in the game is generally well-received, with some jokes eliciting smiles rather than outright laughter, and fans of the series will find familiar comedic elements, especially with the character Mairu. However, the humor is described as somewhat short-lived, and the overall experience may not warrant repeated playthroughs. The music adds a humorous touch but can also be annoying, making the enjoyment of the humor subjective to individual preferences.
“It's not laugh-out-loud funny, but it'll probably make you smile a few times.”
“The game was just as funny as to be expected of the series, especially whenever Mairu appeared on screen.”
“Very nice story and of course... funny, but it's rather short.”

The character development in the visual novel sequel is praised for its depth, with players becoming emotionally invested in the characters, particularly Naomi. However, some reviewers noted a lack of choices and a repetitive storyline, which limited the overall character growth compared to the first installment.
“This VN sequel had no choices, but I really liked the character development and story. At one point, I stopped reading because I didn't want Naomi feeling sad or hurt (yeah, I'm a wuss), and that just shows how much I got invested in the characters.”
“I wouldn't mind if the story was different or entertaining, but it's exactly the same as the first where there's little character development and story.”
