The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and cute, particularly appreciating the focus on Amy's childhood and character development. However, others criticized it for being slow-paced and upsetting, with some technical issues affecting the experience. Overall, while the narrative offers a sweet and dramatic backdrop, it may not add significant depth to the characters, especially in the sequel.
“The plot opens up a bit more on Amy's childhood, and it's pretty nice to see the story not feature two guys wanting her, a common problem in woman-led plots.”
“I also liked the characters, and although the plot felt a bit slow at times, I really appreciated getting some backstory for Amy.”
“Another thing I love from this season is the story; it allows me to appreciate Newton even more as I never expected it was Newton who saved Amy from the runaway - not once but twice.”
“I've played two other storylines from Game House, and this is by far the worst one to follow.”
“The end of chapter 48 continually crashed; eventually, I just watched a video on YouTube for the story I missed and moved on since the level was marked completed.”
“However, as a sequel, it does not add much depth, if at all, to Amy's character - in fact, it feels more like an origin story for her antagonist, Samantha.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent bugs and glitches that hinder gameplay, including the need for daily logins over weeks to achieve certain objectives. Many recommend avoiding the game altogether in favor of watching others play.
“When the game is plagued by bugs and glitches, and it takes weeks of daily boot-ups just to achieve a single goal, I would recommend skipping this one and just watching a streamer play it.”
“The constant glitches and the need to boot up the game every day for weeks to unlock achievements make it hard to recommend this title.”
