The game's story is described as having a challenging start and lacking clear structure or tone, with a basic user interface that suggests it is still in development. Despite the confusion surrounding the plot, players found the ending to be unexpectedly heartwarming and enjoyable. Overall, while the narrative may be underdeveloped, there is potential for a rich storyline.
“Hani is still very much in 'alpha' as the UI is very basic; there's no real story, structure, or tone set yet.”

“Only criticisms I have with the game so far is that I wish you could set the window resolution yourself and/or customize the graphical options more; however, that may be a problem only I have, since I'm playing this game on a potato of a PC.”
