The gameplay is largely criticized for being minimal and resembling a visual novel, with some sections, like the boat ride, feeling repetitive and frustrating due to a die-and-retry mechanic. Players note that environments are often empty and hint at future mechanics, but overall, the gameplay lacks depth and engagement.
- “Some parts try to include gameplay, like the boat ride through the Styx, but it comes off as die and retry, which isn't generally appreciated.”
- “Places were pretty much empty and a lot of the game shows what's going to happen later, like being able to see the people you meet have levels hinting at a later leveling mechanic.”
- “Beyond that, there’s not much gameplay to speak of—it’s essentially a visual novel.”

Reviews indicate that the grinding in this game is excessively tedious and poorly executed, with players expressing frustration over the lack of engaging gameplay and the overwhelming presence of poorly written narrative elements. The experience is described as monotonous, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “The developer of this train wreck couldn't figure out how to make a JRPG with RPG Maker, which is the only thing it can do, and it's not very good at it. Instead, they created one of the cringiest visual novels ever to hit Steam. All you do is walk around and then get hit with waves of tedious, poorly written high school anime club dropout fanfiction.”
- “Grinding in this game feels like an endless chore, with no real reward or progression. It quickly becomes monotonous and frustrating.”
