The story is praised for its moving and realistic narrative, featuring multiple endings that add depth and gravitas. While the characters are likable and the plot engaging, the English translation is notably rough, making it challenging to fully grasp the storyline; playing in the original Chinese is recommended for a better experience. Overall, the story is well-structured and rewarding, despite some grammar issues in the English version.
“The story is moving and rewarding, as well as realistic instead of optimistic, which is a nice change from the good endings always being perfect in these sorts of games.”
“It's got an interesting enough story to keep you invested, and the characters are likable.”
“The story has multiple endings, both good and bad, along with a true ending, but overall they carry a certain gravitas and mood to them that I really liked.”
“I won't spoil much of the story if you're curious to try it, but please be advised that when the dev warns the English translation is very rough, they weren't kidding: it'll help you understand the events, but if you can play it in its native language (Chinese), do so as you'll get an overall better understanding.”
“It appears there are multiple endings, though I have only achieved what the game calls 'normal ending.' There is an interesting story here, but it is difficult and confusing to follow, as the translation to English is horrible.”
“The story is also moving and rewarding as well as realistic instead of optimistic, which is a nice change from the good endings always being perfect in these sorts of games.”

The emotional impact of the game is significantly undermined by poor translation, which often turns poignant moments into unintentionally humorous ones. Players find themselves drawn into the characters' feelings, only to have the emotional weight disrupted by awkwardly translated dialogue that can come off as silly or inappropriate.
“The emotional scenes really resonate, drawing you into the main character's journey and feelings.”
“I found myself deeply connected to the emotions portrayed, making the experience truly impactful.”
“The game captures a wide range of emotions, allowing players to feel the highs and lows alongside the characters.”

The humor in the game largely stems from its poor translation, which unintentionally turns emotional scenes into comedic moments, prompting laughter at the dialogue's amusing mistakes. The game acknowledges this with a splash screen that embraces its humorous shortcomings, adding to the overall lighthearted tone.
“The bad translation makes a lot of the emotional scenes become kind of silly, as I found myself chuckling at funny mistakes in the emotion-heavy dialogue.”
“It even has a splash screen mocking this; I'm so glad it takes it humorously.”

The gameplay is praised for its innovative features, including a sanity mechanic influenced by in-game events, effective flashlight mechanics, and well-placed save points that allow for flexible saving, which mitigates the frustration of backtracking often found in RPG Maker titles. Overall, these elements contribute to a more engaging and user-friendly experience.
“It's a small game, but it manages to introduce several engaging mechanics, such as a sanity system affected by gruesome or dangerous events, flashlight and lamp mechanics, and well-placed save points. The ability to save at any time—though tied to certain endings—helps players cope with death, unlike many other RPG Maker titles that often force you to backtrack due to cheap deaths.”
