The story is generally seen as interesting and cohesive, particularly with its modern dragon spirit concept, though some find it poorly executed and lacking engagement. While it draws comparisons to visual novels and has a mystery-inspired narrative, issues with translation and grammar detract from the overall experience. Despite these flaws, some players appreciate its unique style and potential for immersion, likening it to elements from popular franchises like Digimon and Danganronpa.
“The story is more interesting and cleverly coherent with the concept of dragon spirits in a modern world setting.”
“If you can, however, imagine immersing yourself in a storyline that feels similar to something out of a Digimon game, presented in a style closer to Danganronpa - this might just be for you.”
“Amazing storyline, what more do you want? It has all the right mixture of things.”
“There are no characters to interact with outside the main story.”
“Poorly made, boring story, confusing gameplay, yet combat is extremely simple.”
“For story, the translation is a little rough, with grammar errors littered throughout, one line with untranslated text still in Chinese, and a few typos.”
