The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and charm, particularly the remixes of Satori's theme, which enhance the overall aesthetic. However, many reviewers note that the soundtrack becomes repetitive due to the limited number of tracks, leading to some frustration over time. Overall, while the music contributes positively to the game's appeal, a more varied soundtrack would have improved the experience.
“The art is beautiful and very cute, the OST is great and the story is simple and fun.”
“Cute art style, great gameplay, and amazing soundtrack.”
“The music is fantastic, but sadly a bit repetitive due to the lack of songs.”
“In addition, the remix of Satori’s original theme is a nice touch; however, because hers is the only soundtrack in the game, it can get a bit bland over time.”
“The music is fine but gets somewhat annoying.”
“The game itself is short and simple, and I absolutely love the art style and music remixes in the game.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their cute and gorgeous art style, with many reviewers highlighting the beautiful animations and overall aesthetic as its main selling point. While the visuals are heartwarming and complemented by a great soundtrack, some players feel that the gameplay does not live up to the quality of the artwork, leading to a mixed reception overall.
“The idea itself is neat and quite novel for a Touhou fangame, and the art style of the game is just gorgeous; probably its main selling point. The artist deserves praise for both the animations and the artwork.”
“I absolutely love the art style and music remixes in the game.”
“I really love the whole aesthetic of the game, the art, the music, etc., and the base gameplay of 20 questions with a twist is a neat idea.”
“This game is another victim of 'cute art style but shitty gameplay'. The other game like this was the Yuuka game where you get hit twice and it's game over.”
“I do hope more games in this art style get made, but I do hope they don't make it close to this again.”
“The artwork is cute, but whether or not you can guess correctly highly depends on luck and some information is inaccurate.”

The gameplay is centered around a casual twist on the classic "20 Questions" format, featuring an unreliable narrator that adds a unique challenge. While the aesthetic, art, and music are praised, some mechanics are criticized for being overly difficult, impacting the overall experience. Despite these issues, the game is generally seen as a fun guessing game with engaging elements.
“Overall it's a simple guessing game with a bit of error-correcting mechanic and very simple FNAF-esque management of distractions.”
“Cute art style, great gameplay, and amazing soundtrack.”
“Positives first, I really love the whole aesthetic of the game, the art, the music, etc. and the base gameplay of 20 questions with a twist is a neat idea.”
“However, I believe the execution of some of the mechanics makes the game unnecessarily challenging.”
“Overall, it's a simple guessing game with a bit of error-correcting mechanic and very simple FNAF-esque management of distractions.”
“So the basic gameplay loop is basically 20 questions, but with an unreliable narrator.”

The story is described as simple, short, and fun, with a comedic touch across six levels that enhance the overall experience. While the narrative may not be deep, it is complemented by beautiful art and a great soundtrack, making the game enjoyable, especially when played with others. Extra difficulty levels and stage missions provide additional content, allowing players to extend their gameplay experience.
“The art is beautiful and very cute, the OST is great, and the story is simple and fun.”
“Overall, it's an interesting but somewhat frustrating Touhou-themed puzzle game with a cute art style, great music, and a nice little story throughout.”
“The story is simple and very short, although extra difficulty levels and stage missions kind of make up for it. You can squeeze a couple of evenings out of the game; it's also probably more enjoyable when played with somebody.”
“There are around six levels total, each of them has a little bit of a story to go with them as well as being on the comedy side.”

Players report a strong emotional response to the game, experiencing feelings of frustration and vulnerability akin to childhood, which ultimately leads to a rewarding sense of achievement. The intensity of these emotions, including moments of fury, highlights the game's ability to evoke deep feelings, with many expressing a willingness to endure the emotional rollercoaster again.
“Some failed attempts made me feel like the stupidest person on the planet, but that ultimately made getting a right answer on a stage especially rewarding.”
“Made me cry out of pure fury.”
“10/10 would cry again.”

The game offers high replayability, particularly for players who may forget previous solutions, enhancing the experience even with answer sheets. While some users express a desire for additional content, the existing stages provide substantial replay value for fans of the genre.
“I would love to see more added, but those stages do have a lot of replay value if you enjoy this style of game.”
“The replay value is high if you're as forgetful as Okuu (even with the answer sheets).”

“Good when played with multiple people in something like a Discord call; still pretty funny alone.”
“The traces are incredible, the music is great, and the idea is kind of funny.”
