The game features a unique storytelling approach with four separate heroines, each having distinct love interests and multiple endings (best, normal, bad), which adds depth to the narrative. While some routes, like Gin's, are less enjoyable, the overall storyline is considered average yet engaging, with a focus on character relationships that extend beyond the typical "getting together" trope. The DLC offers a short, humorous addition, enhancing the overall experience.
- “Each guy has 3 endings (best, normal, bad), and unlocking the best one also unlocks an extra story.”
- “This game has a fairly unique storyline as instead of one heroine, there are 4 separate ones with their own love interests.”
- “It should be noted that in all routes, the characters begin dating in the middle, meaning the stories don't end 'when the girl gets the guy' but rather you play out further into their relationship in every story - which is cool, since a lot of otomes end on 'getting together'.”
- “It felt less like a story and more like a series of events that were just happening.”
- “The flowers aren’t just there to make the game look cute and cozy; they’re actually the thread that connects every character and story.”
- “It might not be the game for you if you're looking for more of a challenge, but I'm just a person who likes to read through the story.”
