The game's story is generally considered average, with some reviewers finding it dull until a significant gender swap event revitalizes it. While the narrative has its inconsistencies and could benefit from better writing, it still manages to satisfy fans of gender-bending themes, despite some criticism of agenda-driven elements. Overall, it offers a decent experience for those interested in the genre, though it lacks standout moments.
- “The writing could be better, but it was good enough for me to enjoy the story even though some of it did not exactly seem plausible.”
- “If you're going to change the graphics in the first two cases anyway, try to make them at least consistent with the narrative, as it breaks immersion in the story.”
- “An average story which I feel is definitely worth playing through if you want gender bend; nothing special about the story that makes me go wow, but I feel like this satisfied my wish for a gender bend visual novel.”
- “In actuality, this game's story was dull until the gender swap happened.”
- “The story was so-so, and since it has a sci-fi bent to it, I can forgive little inconsistencies.”
- “Anyway, an average story which I feel is definitely worth playing through if you want gender bend; nothing special about the story that makes me go wow, but I feel like this satisfied my wish for a gender bend visual novel.”

- “Inconsistencies in narrative and graphics/sprites.”
- “If you're going to change the graphics in the first two cases anyway, try to make them at least consistent with the narrative as it breaks immersion in the story.”

The music in the game is generally considered acceptable, but some users noted issues with track dynamics, specifically a problematic fade-in and rebound that affected overall volume levels.
- “The music was okay, but at least one track was fading and then rebounding loudly, which wouldn't have been a problem. However, lowering it to a decent level made the fade much too low.”
- “The soundtrack lacks variety and quickly becomes repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
- “The audio mixing is poor; some tracks are way too quiet while others blast at an uncomfortable volume.”
