The story has garnered mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its engaging and modern narrative, particularly its exploration of themes like tragedy and cyberbullying, while others criticize its convoluted structure and lack of logical coherence. Many found the variety of endings intriguing, though some felt that the story often prioritized shock value over meaningful character development. Overall, while the storytelling mechanics and art are praised, the narrative's execution leaves room for improvement, leading to a somewhat polarizing reception.
- “I loved discovering the truth of the story.”
- “The story is incredibly sad when you understand it fully and the other endings seem to kinda hide that.”
- “The story was really engaging and very modern, especially with the live-streaming elements.”
- “The true ending is tacked onto this, inheriting all the same issues, and seems to flaunt its flagrant disregard for character, story, and theme in the player's face in order to arrive at a 'proper' dating sim ending.”
- “Cute art and a bit of novelty in the mechanics, but the story is half-arsed and makes no logical or dramatic sense.”
- “The story, with all its paths and possibilities, feels more like a checklist of endings rather than an actual chain of events that branches depending on the player’s actions.”

Players frequently criticize the grinding mechanics in the game, particularly the tedious process of earning money through repetitive mini-games and gambling. While some appreciate the option to bypass grinding with mods or save files, many find the necessity to grind for funds detracts from the overall experience, making it feel exhausting and unengaging. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a significant flaw that could benefit from improvement.
- “The money earning minigames are filler that add nothing to the story or the quality of the game in general; they are designed to make the player waste time grinding, since money is indispensable for almost all possible paths.”
- “I’m astonished that someone actually thought it was a good idea to put a grinding mechanic in a visual novel.”
- “My only complaint is that farming money in-game can be exhausting and tiring, as I feel like most of my runs will be mainly focused on grinding for money.”

The gameplay is characterized by its cute art and engaging mechanics, though it leans heavily towards a visual novel format with limited simulation elements. While players appreciate the challenge of obtaining multiple endings, the branching routes can make the experience feel short and disjointed, with some mechanics, like minigames and grinding, receiving criticism for detracting from the overall narrative quality. Overall, the gameplay is polished but prioritizes variety over coherence, leaving some players wanting more depth in the story.
- “I like the idea... I see potential in this story and gameplay setup.”
- “The gameplay is fun and getting all the endings was surprisingly challenging — in a good way.”
- “The gameplay is polished, there are many choices, and having a variety of endings is prioritized over consistency between paths or narrative quality.”
- “While the store page says it has simulation elements, they're effectively placebo gameplay elements, and you should just go into this expecting a very solid visual novel.”
- “I can only say that the decision to make such branched routes seems odd to me: there's a lot of content, but you'll only see a small portion of it in a single playthrough, making the entire gameplay feel too short.”
- “Not super long or super intricate, endings can be a bit rough and the gameplay is definitely more about the motions compared to actually hunting the endings.”
