The story of "Days with Ollie" is generally appreciated for its simplicity and charm, particularly appealing to fans of the vtuber genre. However, many players have expressed frustration with numerous translation errors, bugs, and a lack of coherence in character appearances, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the narrative has potential and is considered enjoyable, especially for its low price and engaging humor.
- “Days with Ollie has a really great potential when it comes to story, and the plot development is pretty interesting.”
- “It's super fun and I highly recommend it even if you're not a fan of Ollie. The game's humor and story (and low price) make it an easy recommendation for visual novel fans, people wanting to learn more about our super adorable zombie idol, or just anyone looking for a fun story with an adorable zombie girl that will melt your heart.”
- “Especially with this price, it's worth your money, and if you don't mind the bugs, the story itself is actually pretty good and cute.”
- “While I appreciate all the effort that Ollie put into this game, I can't say the same for the game devs. There are many translation errors, numerous bugs with the decisions (if you're playing in English), names that are written in the dialog box, literal dialogs not translated at all, and way too repetitive background music. I can forgive the dialogs because it's a first game, but if I encounter a bug that stops me from continuing the story and I have to do a workaround to proceed, that's a bad experience.”
- “Besides Risu, who was incorporated into the story, it seems like (at least as far as I got in the game) all of the other holoid members just appear at random at some randomly chosen 'game over' screens without any logic or connection to the story.”
- “I wish that the story was continued.”

- “When I replayed the game after an update and picked the right answer during the interview, the game just freezes.”

The game's music consists of only four tracks, including one for the title screen and one for the game over screen, with a primary track that plays throughout most of the game and another introduced in chapter three. While the limited soundtrack may feel unconventional for a visual novel, it is noted to fit the game's atmosphere well, despite some lingering language bugs. Overall, the music is considered appropriate and complements the art style effectively.
- “Overall, there are still language bugs here and there, but the art is good, the music fits, and it's unconventional for a visual novel.”
- “The soundtrack is incredibly limited, featuring only four tracks: one for the title screen, one for the game over screen, one that plays throughout most of the game, and a final track that only appears in the second half of chapter three.”
- “The music in this game is disappointingly sparse, with just four tracks that repeat endlessly, making the experience feel monotonous.”
- “With only four tracks in total, the music quickly becomes repetitive and fails to enhance the gameplay experience.”

The graphics have received mixed reviews, with some users noting the use of AI-generated artwork, which may detract from the overall experience. Additionally, players have reported significant bugs, including translation issues that hinder gameplay after a certain point, leading to confusion and frustration.
- “For starters, there's the usage of AI artwork (I noticed at least one background), and if that doesn't bother you for some reason, it's super buggy. Just after you meet Ollie, choices are no longer translated to English, so you kind of have to just guess. There were translation issues throughout, but I didn't expect it to be that bad.”
