The story of the game presents an original and intriguing concept centered around virtual reality and gender identity, serving as a promising introduction to a broader series. While some find the narrative engaging and enjoy the character-focused chapters, others note it feels rushed, shallow, or incomplete with limited character development and only light branching. Overall, the story is appreciated more for its novelty and potential than for depth or polish, making it a decent but not groundbreaking visual novel experience.
“The whole story is actually really interesting and even though some things are predictable I still found myself thinking "but... maybe it's actually not true?".”
“The story is what got me hooked on this game, I love a different story than your more standard otome game that East Tower has.”
“East Tower - Akio manages to deliver a decent, refreshing story covered in the average artwork of mediocrity that is dominating certain mainstream visual novels today.”
“It felt like the outline of one rather than a proper story.”
“Well, the visual novel has a promising storyline, yet its execution is a bit rushed - with little to no character development.”
“An rather mediocre novel with a promising overall virtual reality story.. it being an intro towards a quadrilogy it does not provide too much information which makes the game look dull.”
