The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it intriguing and full of potential, while others criticize its pacing, lack of context, and occasional incoherence. Many reviewers express hope for future chapters to enhance character development and overall narrative quality, appreciating the art style and atmosphere despite the current shortcomings.

“I enjoyed it a lot, I think that once the story is finished and an extra layer of polish is added to the proceedings, this game can really be an RPG Maker gem.”
“Can't wait to see what's to come, love the art style and the story!”
“The story is so good and I love the characters!”
“The story itself doesn't make sense at some point, and honestly, it's just not worth the almost 10 dollars. I don't see any news about chapter 3, so either the dev abandoned the project or pushed it aside. Please spend your money on something else.”
“As it is, the story hasn't developed very far, and the characters haven't really had time to grow yet. As of writing this review, there are 2 chapters out, and the experience took me exactly 60 minutes. The chapters are pretty short, and I think that's where some of the negative reviews are coming from.”
“The main character is a completely spineless idiot, and there is a complete lack of context to the story for the first 2 chapters.”
