The story of "Requiem for My Homeland" is praised for its beautiful language and emotional depth, exploring dark themes of survival in an apocalyptic world. However, many reviewers note that the narrative can be confusing due to its non-linear structure and lack of character development compared to its predecessor, "Fallstreak." While the writing, art, and music are highly regarded, the condensed storyline leaves some feeling it lacks depth and clarity, despite its poignant exploration of the human condition.
- “A chillingly dark story about a world that’s becoming uninhabitable and the depths humanity will sink to in order to survive.”
- “Complex, beautiful story, and at its core, it speaks of the human condition and the brutalities of war.”
- “Absolutely recommend this game if you can handle dark subject matter; the author weaves a story that is so immersive and thought out that all the super dark things that happen hit you in the soul and trigger a reaction.”
- “Unfortunately, it falls into the same trap as the original game where it jumps between time and characters in a way that makes it hard to keep track of the timeline and story, making the twist, in this case, less impactful.”
- “While the concept/theme of the game is fine, the storyline is quite confusing and lacks some in-game dictionary/vocabulary for a couple of specific terms; lastly, while you can redo the text, there is no backlog available.”
- “I found the story transitions jarring.”

- “Although there are certainly better looking visual novels, the character designs are appealing and the music is surprisingly good.”
- “The art, writing, music, and the sounds are all really good and I have to say for the price this is all really well done.”

- “Its soundtrack and art style remain top-notch, but its story is a bit too short and seems unfinished.”
- “The only thing someone could be missing is voice acting, but not having it puts the focus even more on the music and the atmosphere.”
