The story in "Derasora: Tears for an Unknown Sky" is described as intriguing but underdeveloped, with characters lacking depth and familiarity due to limited interaction and a brief narrative structure. While the game presents a compelling prologue filled with mystery and hints of a deeper plot, many players express confusion over the timeline and character backgrounds, particularly starting from "week 6." Overall, the game is seen as a promising start that leaves players eager for future installments, despite its current shortcomings in storytelling.
- “Derasora: Tears for an Unknown Sky is a good prologue with great features such as an intriguing story, good voice acting, great music, and beautiful art, plus a good translation.”

- “You don't get to know any of the characters well; it's like the very bare minimum of the start of the story.”
- “With only a single choice in the novel, you'll only be able to elaborate a little more on one of the three secondary characters per playthrough, although save/load shenanigans are possible, as these choices do not appear to influence the story beyond the impressions the scenes will give the reader.”
- “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'.”
