The game's story is surprisingly extensive for its genre, lasting about two hours, but it is often described as generic and in need of improvement, particularly in translation quality. While some players appreciate the coherence and continuity of the narrative, others find the main character unlikable and the overall storytelling lacking depth. The adult content is noted to be well-executed, but it often overshadows the story itself, which could benefit from more polish.
“Overall, a 2 hours long unique puzzle game that's enjoyable, with an actual story and good yet extremely wrong and taboo adult content.”
“I love the game and the graphics are amazing and the story is great.”
“Storyline is surprisingly continuous.”
“The story could be a lot better.”
“I'm not a fan of the main character or the story, though, particularly with the machine translations.”
“The graphics are good, but the story isn't that great.”

The graphics in the game are generally praised for their quality and clean art style, with particular commendation for the well-executed adult content animations, which are considered a rarity in Steam games. However, some players noted that the sound effects can be repetitive and annoying, and while the graphics are strong, the overall story is viewed as generic.
“Scenes are of exquisite quality, with a very clean art style.”
“I love the game and the graphics are amazing and the story is great.”
“The graphics are good, the adult content animations are very well made (a rarity for Steam games).”
“There are no settings in the game to change anything, and my Steam profile allows NSFW, but the game just plays through scenarios and cuts to the mahjong without any NSFW visuals, which I'd imagine is the whole reason most people play these games.”

The music in the game is generally considered average, with a few decent tracks that lack standout quality. Sound effects, particularly the repetitive moaning, detract from the experience due to their monotony. Additionally, the soundtrack features a Christmas theme, which adds a unique touch but may not appeal to all players.
“The soundtrack in Happy Guy, as well as the tiles on the puzzle board, seem to be Christmas themed.”

Players report feeling uncomfortable and uneasy during the initial moments of the game, with one user specifically noting that the experience made them feel like a "creep" even before reaching the tutorial. This suggests that the game's emotional tone may evoke strong, unsettling feelings right from the start.
