- The character development, particularly of the protagonist Yuusuke, is well-executed and adds depth to the overall experience.
- The art and music quality are high, contributing to an immersive atmosphere that enhances the gameplay.
- The third volume feels rushed and shorter than its predecessors, leaving many plot points unresolved and characters underdeveloped.
- Key characters from previous volumes, such as Makiura, are sidelined or written off without proper closure, disappointing fans.
- The game lacks substantial additional content and feels like a letdown compared to the rich storytelling of the first two volumes.

The story of the visual novel series is praised for its engaging plot and character art, particularly in the earlier volumes, but many reviewers express disappointment with the later installments due to rushed endings, unresolved plot points, and the sidelining of key characters. While some appreciate the unique blend of horror and romance, others feel that the narrative lacks depth and coherence, leaving numerous intriguing elements unexplored. Overall, the series is seen as having great potential, but it ultimately falls short in delivering a satisfying conclusion.
“The story and the plot are just really fantastic.”
“Overall, I like the story progress, even though there are some things that I think the developers should focus more on specific characters than the others.”
“An excellent visual novel with an interesting storyline, memorable characters, and wonderful art!”
“Though at first the story mainly focuses on the zombie part, it ultimately feels like the plot forgot what it was and just rushed to the exit with no regard.”
“There are a lot of plot holes, it's rushed at the end, and they just quietly wrote my favorite character out of the story.”
“The lack of a conclusive story for Sayaka is just lazy writing, and many foreshadowings were ignored, leaving the plot feeling mediocre.”

Character development in the game is a mixed bag; while Yuusuke's growth is highlighted as relatable and enjoyable, particularly in volume 2, it is criticized for being undermined in volume 3 where his previous development seems to be ignored. Overall, while there are decent moments of character growth, they lack lasting impact and consistency throughout the narrative.
“However, I feel that overall it was still very enjoyable and Yuusuke's character development really shone through, which was nice to see.”
“I found the character development of Yuusuke splendid as it was easy to relate to him, compared to the cold version of him in the previous games.”
“He's not much different from the MC from G Senjou no Maou really, but in a world like this, I didn't have any issues with him and he too has a nice character development.”
“After all the character development in Volume 2, the story decides to just ignore it?”
“At the start of Volume 3, all of his character development from Volume 2 just disappears, and in Volume 3 he makes a few decisions you definitely do not expect from him, not in a good way.”
