The story has received mixed reviews, with some praising its intriguing themes and character development, while others criticize it for being short, predictable, and filled with plot holes.

Overall, while some found enjoyment in the unique blend of horror and manga elements, the consensus is that the story could benefit from further expansion and refinement.

“The story is intriguing, the characters are charming.”
“Disillusions manga horror gives an amazing story that dropped my jaw by the end!”

“The graphics are ugly as sin, and all of the scares are more or less the same tired jumpscare repeated over and over.”

The game's atmosphere is described as dark and gritty, enhanced by eerie audio effects, but is undermined by low-quality art and voice acting that detracts from the overall experience. Players feel it resembles a poorly executed clone of other horror titles, with a lack of charm and immersion due to subpar voice work.
“• Dark, gritty surroundings and eerie audio effects for atmospheric gameplay.”
“Other than that, there isn't a lot of charm to this game. The voice acting is done with a voice generator, and the art isn't very high quality in terms of matching the game's atmosphere.”
“In terms of atmosphere, as soon as the game starts, you immediately get the vibe of a bad Slender clone, leading to ridiculously slow movement speed and Google Translate-level Japanese dub.”
“Cause every time they started talking (out loud, I mean), the creepy atmosphere disappeared.”

The game is criticized for its extremely short length, taking only about 15 minutes to complete, and offers virtually no replay value due to its linear structure and scripted jump scares. While some may find it enjoyable for a single playthrough, the lack of content and replayability makes it hard to recommend.
“It is incredibly short too (maybe a good thing), and virtually no replay value.”
“This game is just walking from point A to point B with scripted jump scares that don't deliver unless you're easily frightened. It consists of 3 chapters that can overall be finished in about 15 minutes total if you look around and observe the sequences, and with little replay value, it's hardly worth picking up.”
“Maybe not replayable, but still.”
