    The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users criticizing its reliance on auditory narration and lack of visual character representation, making it difficult to follow. While the narrator's performance is noted as commendable, the overall storytelling is deemed inferior to other VR films, lacking engaging visuals and coherent dialogue. Conversely, some users appreciate the emotional depth and quality of the audio and graphics, suggesting that the story has potential despite its execution flaws.

    • “Beautiful graphics, great audio and acting, emotional and interesting story.”
    • “The storytelling is totally relying on the auditory narration, with no single character rendered visually. You have to guess what's happening by listening. Don't get me wrong, the narrator did a good job, but with only one person playing two roles, not changing in tones or voice, you cannot even tell who is who in the dialogue. The visual is virtually nothing linked to the story except showing the year and the ending scene.”
    • “Overall, it wants to be something like Oculus Story Studio's Dear Angelica, but becomes a much worse version of it due to zero visual character and bad storytelling.”

    Overall, optimization for the game shows mixed results; initial scenes suffer from performance issues and stuttering, particularly on lower-end systems like the GTX 1060. However, performance improves significantly in later scenes, with some users reporting excellent frame rates on higher-end setups like the RTX 2080 Super. Despite these improvements, certain areas, especially the ending scene, still experience noticeable frame drops and choppiness.

    • “I watched this with a Quest 2 wirelessly connected to the laptop using Virtual Desktop, and performance/FPS was excellent.”
    • “Performance stuttered a little bit at the beginning, but it's okay after a while.”
    • “The performance issues are mainly in the first two scenes; afterwards, it improves quite a bit.”
    • “Bad performance in the ending scene when there are some changes; the visuals become choppy and the frame rate drops to below 40 (I am on RTX 2080 Super, it's not my PC, it's bad optimization).”
    • “However, it has more technical issues and overall low performance on Oculus.”
    • “I experienced very poor performance on my GTX 1060.”
