The gameplay is generally described as enjoyable yet somewhat simplistic, featuring a match-3-esque mechanic that allows players to connect beads on a grid to deal damage. While the game is short and lacks depth, it offers varied stages and good animations, making it a refreshing alternative in the NSFW genre. Overall, players appreciate the fun mechanics and art, though some find the gameplay to be bland and lacking in strategic depth.
“I finished this in an hour, but the match-3-esque gameplay was actually really fun, and the animations were great.”
“Failed adventure has good animated h-scenes while also having a fun gameplay mechanic, being a game where you have to connect beads on a grid to deal damage to the enemy.”
“The girls are cute and their lewd scenes are really enjoyable, while the gameplay is a refreshing deviation from the standard match-3 style, which makes it a diamond in the rough of the Steam NSFW games.”
“Only buy this game for the h-scenes; gameplay is fine but everything else is bad.”
“The gameplay is decent but kind of bland. Every battle introduces some different enemy dynamic, but it does nothing to change that there's very little strategy possible, and you basically just click large groups of icons until you win.”
“Lack of depth even for a match-3-style game (plot and gameplay).”

The graphics feature a hand-drawn anime style that is visually appealing but not groundbreaking, earning a score of 7/10. While the artwork enhances the enjoyment of the lewd scenes, the overall polish, particularly in dialogue, leaves something to be desired.
“It has decent artwork, which is what piqued my interest initially. The match-three game (which isn't actually match 3) is an interesting take that was enjoyable to some degree.”
“+ Great artwork that makes the lewd scenes so much more enjoyable!”
“Graphically, the characters are hand-drawn in the anime style that you've seen in many other games; it's good but nothing spectacular.”
“It has decent artwork, which is what piqued my interest initially, but the match-three game (which isn't actually match 3) is an interesting take that was enjoyable to some degree initially.”
“It's not the most pristine or polished in terms of dialogue, which is actually kind of a shame considering the artwork of these scenes is so well done!”
