The game's story is extensive and well-crafted, with players reporting completion times of 12-35 hours, featuring a rich narrative filled with plot twists and deep character development. While the main storyline is engaging and emotionally impactful, some players found certain quests poorly designed and frustrating, though they appreciated the option to skip them. Overall, the storytelling, atmosphere, and voice acting are highlighted as standout elements, making for a memorable experience.
“This is amazing in pretty much all aspects (story, setting, characters including the protagonist, plot twists, atmosphere,...).”
“The game stands out with its superb storytelling, excellent character development, and full voice acting.”
“It's a beautiful, heartwarming, and complex story that had me in tears over and over.”
“In about 1.6 hours, I've completed 2 quests and 3 main story parts (chapter 1), which on the top right of the 'main story panel' it said 4/54 (part I was about to do). This goes to show how long the story is.”
“Final quest of the mountain is just trial and error over and over until you find the correct path, which is not fun to 'brute force' a puzzle, trying every possible combination until you finally get it right.”
“It doesn't make sense and certainly does not endear the players to the story, characters, or the mood the writer is trying to create.”

The music in the game is highly praised for its beauty and effectiveness, enhancing the overall experience with a gorgeous soundtrack that complements the story and characters. While background music is turned off by default, players find it best enjoyed at lower volumes, and the voice acting and sound effects further enrich the immersive atmosphere. Overall, the music contributes significantly to the game's emotional depth and memorable moments.
“I adore how pretty the CGs are, the soundtrack is actually gorgeous, and I love the main character Sangjoon.”
“Best romance I've ever seen in a game, fantastic art and memorable music, unnerving and immersive horror, very mature and complex--yet lighthearted--character writing, an extensively thought-out storyline with some perfectly executed twists, and a very climactic and satisfying ending.”
“The voice acting, the characters, the soundtrack, the sub-stories, and the main story were amazing.”
“The background music is turned off by default (why?)”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing the optional quests for being poorly designed and featuring UI oddities, while others find the gameplay sections to be merely adequate and not particularly noteworthy. However, the overall experience is enhanced by strong narrative elements, memorable music, and immersive horror aspects.
“Best romance I've ever seen in a game, fantastic art and memorable music, unnerving and immersive horror (from both the writing and the gameplay segments), very mature and complex--yet lighthearted--character writing, an extensively thought-out storyline with some perfectly executed twists, and a very climactic and satisfying ending.”
“I don't even want to get into my multiple complaints about the gameplay; the optional quests are janky, poorly designed, and have many UI oddities that left me scratching my head.”
“The gameplay sections are okay, nothing to write home about but are also completely optional.”
