- “The atmosphere is gripping, supported by haunting music and striking visuals that perfectly capture the tone of the story.”
- “Amazing story, very emotionally moving, and gorgeous art.”
- “The story is interesting as well as engaging.”
- “Not sure if it was just the writing or the boring story, but the game couldn't keep my interest.”
- “The art and music are nicely made, but the characters are unbearably generic and boring, and the plot is nearly non-existent.”
- “There's no actual plot except this vague nonsense with butterflies and wishes that are themes far better utilized in other otome games.”

The music in the game is widely praised for its haunting quality and ability to enhance the atmosphere, with many reviewers noting that it complements the beautiful art style. While some players feel the soundtrack is worth purchasing, especially if on sale, others criticize the game's overall content and character depth, suggesting that the music is one of the few standout elements. Overall, the combination of art and music is seen as a highlight, despite some concerns about the game's narrative and character development.
- “The atmosphere is gripping, supported by haunting music and striking visuals that perfectly capture the tone of the story.”
- “The art and music are beautiful.”
- “Also, the soundtrack absolutely slaps!”
- “Even though this is 'free' (only superficially, the author has his hand out for a 'soundtrack' donation and some other stuff, basically digital panhandling), it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam.”
- “Despite the promising art and music and teaser video, the game is every standard otome of safe-and-boring-good boy versus not-really-that-bad boy love interests that the main character has to choose between, that you've ever played with the serial number scratched off and a new patchwork skin laid over it.”
- “Voice was barely heard when the music volume was somewhere in the middle, not at max even, so I had to spend some time to figure out an ideal way for voices not to be a whisper.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their beauty and striking visuals, effectively enhancing the atmosphere and storytelling. The art style, reminiscent of classic anime, is well-executed, though some reviewers noted a lack of depth in the overall design. The combination of appealing artwork and a fitting soundtrack contributes to a captivating experience, despite some critiques regarding the coherence of the aesthetic.
- “The atmosphere is gripping, supported by haunting music and striking visuals that perfectly capture the tone of the story.”
- “I have really enjoyed playing this visual novel, the writing is superb and the artwork is beautiful.”
- “But many other aspects seem like a hodgepodge of Victorian era aesthetics, just a shade off from being steampunk.”
- “The graphics are really pretty (along with the CG art) and the music adds to the atmosphere.”
- “I hadn't heard of it before, but the art style reminds me of old anime I used to watch, so that really appealed to me.”
humor

The humor in the game is noted for its cleverness and balance with intensity, providing both laugh-out-loud moments and cringeworthy instances that can be polarizing for players. While some find the humor engaging and enjoyable, others feel certain jokes, particularly those involving self-insertion, can miss the mark. Overall, the game successfully blends drama with comedic elements, enhancing the overall experience.
- “The funny thing is, if you wanted to print this book, you'd only need to print 10 copies to satisfy the entire world's demand for it.”
- “I burst out laughing and startled my husband when I got the 'It Got Dangerous, Kitten' achievement because Blooming Panic is one of my all-time favorite games, and I knew that cameo came from characters in this game but had no clue it referenced back to BP as well.”
- “It has a great balance of humor and intensity which makes it a very fun experience.”
- “I felt deeply disturbed to hear my angelic main character saying words like 'f***' about a mere microwave. I don't even say that about the terrible DLC, but self-inserting into her image and seeing her say that was not funny; it was cringy.”
- “The humor in this game falls flat and often feels forced, making it more awkward than entertaining.”
- “I expected some clever jokes, but instead, I was met with tired clichés that just didn't land.”

The gameplay of this visual/interactive novel is criticized for being minimal and unengaging, primarily consisting of clicking through poorly written dialogue that detracts from the overall experience.
- “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print. This poses the question, 'How did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
grinding
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Users find the grinding aspect of visual novels and e-books tedious, likening the experience to a frustratingly slow reading process where each sentence requires a click to advance, detracting from the enjoyment of the narrative.
- “Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best. Imagine the best novel you ever read, whether it's 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', '2001: A Space Odyssey', or 'Twilight' (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you want to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”
