The gameplay features a unique card-based combat system that is both fun and strategic, providing a refreshing change from traditional RPG mechanics.

The game has a limited daily activity system that can feel restrictive and disrupt the flow of gameplay.

The game's story is generally well-received, praised for its engaging characters and intricate narrative that unfolds as players progress, with many noting the depth of character backstories and emotional moments. However, some critiques highlight issues with pacing and convoluted plot elements, while others express discomfort with certain character portrayals. Overall, it is considered one of the stronger narratives in the h-game genre, blending comedic and dramatic elements effectively.
- “The story element in this game is fantastic; there are 4 acts in total, the first 3 acts go through the 3 heroines respectively, which talks about their past and how their personality was developed.”
- “The characters are all fun, the story is filled with both comedic and dramatic moments and at no point made me want to throw my system out of the house.”
- “Overall, I originally purchased this game because I've played other h-games, but it got me staying with it for the story and gameplay more than anything.”
- “But this story is definitely not my cup of tea. While I'm a connoisseur of finer arts and a degenerate with a very broad and welcoming palate, I have at least bare bones of standards for stories that expect themselves to be taken seriously as 'stories'.”
- “The game drags way too long with a convoluted plot that tries to overachieve with a lot of lame attempts to pad on the story.”
- “So far it's more like a novel than a game, with lots and lots of reading and a story that I just got bored with and found a little confusing. Perhaps that's just me.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring a unique combat system that combines elements of rock-paper-scissors with linear dungeon crawling, making it engaging and accessible for players. While the mechanics are praised for their sophistication and fun factor, some reviewers note a lack of choice mechanics and criticize the repetitive nature of combat typical in RPG Maker games. Overall, the gameplay is considered a strong point, though opinions vary on its depth and the balance between story and adult content.
- “From a gameplay perspective, it has a different combat system from the usual, which in its simplicity works pretty well.”
- “Combat mechanics are really slick and the way it combines rock-paper-scissors-style combat with linear dungeon crawling is fun.”
- “Gameplay: very fun, good combat system that's not too difficult for players who aren't very mechanical.”
- “The main con is that I wish there were an actual fullscreen mode to the game, and that it had 16:9 support for its gameplay rather than just 4:3.”
- “Overall gameplay is bad and boring.”
- “Huge majority of games based on RPG Maker rely on combat mechanics which can be broken into simple rotation: attack > heal > repeat.”

The game features a unique and appealing graphical style, particularly praised for its pixel artwork and animations, which are often compared favorably to other titles in the genre. While some elements, like hand-drawn sprites and map design, received mixed reviews, the overall aesthetic and artistic intent are appreciated by players. However, there are contrasting opinions, with some users noting poor graphic and sound quality, indicating a divide in the perception of the game's visual execution.
- “Compelling (although a little cliché) story, likeable characters, freakin' great graphics and animations (of people - okay, map design could have been better, but it's 8/10 anyway and yes, lots of asset reuse from other games, but actually within reason and with sense), good music, great mechanics (I don't even like card games and here I was grinding dungeons!), all neatly tied together.”
- “Great pixel artwork, innovative and fun combat, interesting story - I'm completely hooked.”
- “The game is of very poor quality, graphic and sound-wise.”
- “The pixel artwork is very appreciated, and the hand-drawn sprites for chat dialogue aren't the absolute highest quality, but I appreciate the artist's intent and think it works to the game's benefit.”
- “The unique art style and h scenes done in pixel were excellent enough, similarly to Summer Memories and Succumate; they were on par with your typical illustrated h scenes.”

While some find the experience a bit tedious due to navigation challenges, the engaging story and characters, along with strong graphics and music, help mitigate the need for extensive grinding.
- “Almost no grinding if you know your way around the game”
- “Is rather tedious in my opinion; it's easy to run past a path, and you'll soon learn it's there, but without the map, you don't immediately see it as a path.”
- “There's more reading than playing, and it doesn't really require any sort of grinding, either.”
- “Grinding dungeons felt unnecessary and repetitive, making the experience less enjoyable.”
