The story is widely praised for its engaging and emotionally impactful character arcs, particularly those of Roya and Chain, with compelling backstories and romantic developments that resonate deeply with players. Its blend of supernatural, mystery, and horror elements, combined with improved writing and beautiful art, creates an immersive experience praised for its balance of intrigue and emotional depth. Some minor criticisms include occasional rushed pacing in bad endings and certain characters feeling underutilized, but overall the narrative is considered a major strength of the game.
“I am obsessed with Roya and his story, and his romantic ending did something to me that I cannot explain in words without sounding insane.”
“Pretty art style and the story is intriguing and full of fun mystery. I'm still not done with all the different routes yet but I wanted to recommend this VN for any supernatural, mystery, or romance lovers lingering on the store page.”
“This visual novel is a masterpiece with beautiful art, amazing soundtracks and engaging, interesting story with unforgettable characters.”
“One gripe I have with storytelling in this, that I've also had with the original, is that sometimes (usually in bad endings) events unfold far too quickly to have any emotional impact or seem significant.”
“Sorry but why was Zeikun even there? Kurato and Sachiro had appearances in Chain's route, Junoru must be very important to Roya's story, but Zeikun just never showed up.”
“We do see Lioji and Iku more but they don't add anything to the story at all.”
