- “This can be challenging, but it also adds to the game's replay value and makes it more attractive for players to explore different outcomes.”
- “I played this when it came out on Android; it's been a while and I'm a fan of fantasy stuff. This game has a lot of replayability, but it's not suited for every audience. If you like storytelling, or these kinds of text games, or want to try and get full achievements, it's fun.”

The game is praised for being completely free with no ads or microtransactions, making it enjoyable to try. However, the presence of constant advertisements for the developer's other games and the absence of an offline save/load function detracts from the overall experience, leading to mixed recommendations.
- “The game is fun as well as completely free with no ads or microtransactions, so it is well worth giving it a try.”

- “The monetization strategy feels overly aggressive, with frequent prompts to purchase in-game currency that disrupt the gameplay experience.”
- “It's frustrating to see that progress is often locked behind paywalls, making it difficult to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
