    The game's story is criticized for being minimal and overly reliant on a tedious text input mechanic, which can detract from the overall experience. However, some players appreciate the unique storytelling elements and the engaging side story involving a mystery on a derelict spaceship, which adds depth to the narrative. While the game is short and lacks audio enhancements, the text entry system is noted for effectively driving the plot forward, making it a mixed but ultimately enjoyable experience for those who appreciate its romantic and mystery aspects.

    • “I do, however, admire the storytelling capabilities of the authors.”
    • “The main story is about finding out why Glare was sent to you, whereas the second story (which is my personal favorite) sends you both to a derelict spaceship where you have to solve the mystery of the disappeared crew.”
    • “The second story the game comes with is definitely the highlight, and it will take you some time to solve the mystery.”
    • “The plot is almost non-existent, and the gameplay where you read a text and then try typing in words mentioned in the text in order to progress the story gets tedious very fast. There's no voice acting or even background music, and the game is very short.”
    • “The story can only be progressed by finding the right buzzwords in your conversations with glare and by typing them into a text field.”
    • “It's like 'Her Story,' just clunkier and an overall worse experience.”

    • “The gameplay is very basic and involves a lot of guesswork. The story is surprisingly nice, and the overall experience is very wholesome, definitely recommended - more for the romance aspect than the adult content, but both are really good here.”
