- Cute and visually pleasing anime-style character art with fitting music that sets a good atmosphere.
- Innovative and enjoyable gameplay mechanics, including engaging mini-games like debates, interrogations, and puzzles reminiscent of Ace Attorney and Danganronpa.
- Lighthearted, feel-good, and refreshing story with creative plot elements and solid character designs that make for a fun, short experience.
- The English translation contains numerous grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, which can hinder understanding, especially important in a detective visual novel.
- The game is very short, playable within a few hours, and contains only one main case, limiting character development and replayability.
- Questioning/interrogation system penalizes asking unnecessary questions with 'lives,' which breaks immersion, feels counterintuitive to detective work, and causes player frustration.

The story is generally described as lighthearted, cute, and enjoyable with a simple, predictable detective plot infused with comedy and homage to Sherlock Holmes. While some appreciate its refreshing, feel-good tone and creative plot twists, others find the storytelling and character dialogue weak or boring, with limited depth and occasional pacing issues. Overall, it serves well as a short, casual visual novel experience but could benefit from tighter narrative and more engaging dialogue.
“I loved the cute chicken and enjoyed the case, especially how creative it was with the plot twist at the end.”
“Detective School Club is a short, cute, 'feel good' detective story where you are tasked with solving a mystery.”
“The plot of the story is simple and predictable (especially the big reveal at the end), but also enjoyable and cozy.”
“That said, dude, you've got to work on your storytelling skills!”
“I can forgive a lot if the storytelling is tight (this includes character dialogue.) I did try to do a playthrough for you Danny, but the character dialogue put me off so badly I lost interest in less than 90 minutes of play!”
“To tell the truth, the story is a bit boring and missing hint options because I spent a lot of time stuck at times and had to try all the options to find the solution.”
