The game's story is described as minimal and often tedious, relying heavily on a text input mechanic that requires players to guess keywords to progress. While some players appreciate the unique storytelling elements and the engaging side mysteries, the overall narrative experience is considered short and lacking depth, with no voice acting or music to enhance immersion. Despite its flaws, the art and character design receive praise, and the game is recommended for those who enjoy romance and mystery themes.
- “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.”
- “I like the art/character design; however, the plot is almost non-existent. 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.”
