The story is described as dark, disturbing, and overly reliant on a single debate format, which can be tedious for players. While some find the narrative interesting and engaging, particularly with its psychological elements and multiple endings, the poor English translation significantly detracts from the overall experience. Many reviewers express disappointment in the lack of coherent storytelling and character development, with some preferring a more traditional love story rather than the sadistic themes presented.
“The story takes place over four chapters and has five endings: three bad ones, a normal ending, and the true ending.”
“Although it does have an interesting story, it is a slight psychological game that messes with the players' emotions, and you must choose the correct choices to get the proper chapter endings.”
“Its art is quite good, and the story is interesting, but it needs patience to get through, which could be boring to most people.”
“The entire story is just one single debate written in many different words.”
“What I was able to get out of the story was dark, messed up, and depressing.”
“I truly believe Otaku Plan should not be allowed to claim this game supports English; it's that bad, and it's enough that I simply cannot recommend it to anybody looking for a story written in coherent English.”
