The humor in the game is polarizing, with some players finding it overly forced and pretentious, while others appreciate its subtlety and depth, particularly in references to niche topics like traps and gachimuchi culture. Many critiques highlight issues such as broken English, laggy mechanics, and poorly explained minigames, which detract from the comedic experience. Overall, the humor seems to resonate primarily with a specific audience, leaving others feeling alienated or confused.
“The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of traps, most of the jokes will go over a typical player's head.”
“The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, realizing that they're not just funny—they say something deep about traps.”
“I think it's funny that all the characters are gay men, even though their animations are hot chicks; that's about the only thing I liked about this game.”
“Pretentious, unfunny garbage.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some praising the classical background score while others criticize the overall soundtrack as poorly fitting and of low quality. Despite the negative feedback, one reviewer rated the soundtrack highly, suggesting a divide in player opinions.
“The soundtrack is a perfect 10/10.”
“Everything, except the classical music in the background, is garbage.”
“The translation is awful on purpose, I would assume. The music doesn't fit in the slightest, and the story?”
“Better go watch a Gachimuchi music video on NicoVideo or YouTube and avoid this.”
