The story has been criticized for its lack of character development and clarity, leaving players feeling confused about the plot and character backgrounds. While the brief narrative avoids unnecessary scenes and delivers a twist effectively, many reviewers express a desire for deeper relationships and more substantial storytelling. Despite these shortcomings, some players remain hopeful for future chapters to improve the overall narrative experience.
“It strips the story of meandering scenes, skips chances for boredom, and reaches its twist with fanfares.”
“As it stands, with only this first, very brief episode, I can't say that I didn't get my money's worth out of it, or that I didn't feel satisfied by the way the story was delivered.”
“So far, I'm interested enough to see where the story goes next.”
“You don't get to know any of the characters well; it's like the very bare minimum of the start of the story.”
“I was confused about the story when I played this game for the first time. I don't know about Tendou Haruka's background and why this game starts from 'week 6' and not 'week 1'.”
“Generally, though, I wish that the other characters had been constructed a little more like Mio's role, at least in terms of building familiarity and depth of relationships, especially since the story flashes ahead and skips a few days at one point - time which could have been used to fill in exactly the kind of scenes that would have benefitted the cast.”
