The gameplay offers a unique and refreshing take on modern fantasy with engaging side events and intricate combat mechanics, though it features a steep and sometimes unbalanced learning curve. Difficulty spikes early on and reliance on RNG, particularly in enemy encounters, can cause frustration, but the depth and challenge provide hours of rewarding play for those who persevere.
- “Add some top writing, quite a unique take on modern fantasy and open gameplay, great side events, serial killers (there's one that attacks people who leave public bathrooms in a bad state), and more. There is a lot to love about it.”
- “Hours upon hours of gameplay if you want to do everything; and it's really challenging.”
- “The combat has interesting mechanics and a difficulty that requires you to have a good plan.”
- “Gameplay is too difficult before you get additional party members.”
- “Many gameplay aspects use RNG, but in my opinion, the worst one is enemy encounters 3-4 steps after the previous encounter.”
- “While some aspects of the gameplay are rather refreshing, the learning curve is rather high and unbalanced.”

Overall, the story is considered a strong and memorable aspect of the game.
- “I would say the story, characters, and the whole 'broken capitalistic society' concept that the game tries to bring throughout the dialogue played a huge role in this, but honestly, I just adored how different, out of place, and emotionally intense the game was.”
- “Plenty of content, very fun combat in my personal opinion, and I absolutely adored the characters and the general story.”
- “I really love the game's story and its simple but fun game mechanics.”
- “The developer couldn't work out the usual anime club dropout fanfic writing to make this and went off on some weird plot about a woman using money to 'fight' things and pay the bills after being fired.”
- “I would say the story, characters, and the whole 'broken capitalistic society' concept that the game tries to bring through the dialogue played a huge role in this, but to be honest, I just adored how different, out of place, and emotionally messed up the game was.”
- “Graveyard quest kinda stumped me but now I feel stupid after figuring it out.”

The graphics are widely criticized as poor and unappealing pixel art, perceived as either a result of limited developer skill or budget. While similar games have succeeded despite simplistic visuals, these graphics are not seen as a positive aspect.
- “This features really godawful, lazy pixel art instead of real graphics.”
- “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
- “Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”
