While many reviewers appreciated the clever writing and engaging premise, they noted that the plot feels incomplete and the ending is weak, leading to mixed feelings about the overall experience. Overall, it offers a charming introduction to a larger saga, but may not satisfy those seeking a more intricate or challenging narrative.

- “It's a little short, but I really enjoyed the story and writing.”
- “First and foremost, the story was incredibly short.”

The game offers some replayability through character choices that affect companion dynamics in subsequent playthroughs, but this is limited by the linear plot and shallow decision-making. Players who enjoy experimenting with different combinations may find value, while others may feel the lack of meaningful choices diminishes overall replay potential. Comparatively, other titles in the genre provide better writing and replay value for a similar price.
- “It's a somewhat short game, but it has good replayability in terms of what character you focus on as it will determine the companion you'll have in the next game.”
- “Replay value depends on whether you are willing to try different combinations or if you have one path you prefer.”
- “There's also not much in the way of replayability.”
- “Sadly, most of the player's choices are shallow and don't make much impact on the increasingly linear plot, which erases any potential replay value.”
- “Choice of games has made a lot of stories with better writing and more replay value for around the same price.”

The graphics in the game are criticized for lacking depth and detail, particularly in terms of gore and violence, leading to a recommendation against the game for those seeking visually impactful content.
- “In short, I don't recommend it because the only thing you might want to read it for, in my opinion, are things you can easily find elsewhere for free, and you don't even get any real graphics of gore, death, or blood.”
