- It successfully continues the narrative from previous volumes and wraps up the series nicely, providing satisfying character development.
- The adult content is well-executed, with detailed and visually pleasing scenes that enhance the overall experience.
- The third volume feels rushed and shorter than its predecessors, leaving many plot points unresolved and characters underdeveloped.
- Key characters from earlier volumes, particularly the doctor, are sidelined or written off without proper closure, disappointing fans.

The story of this visual novel series, particularly in volumes 1-3, is praised for its engaging plot and character art, though many reviewers express disappointment with its brevity and unresolved plot points. While the narrative successfully combines elements of horror and intrigue, it suffers from rushed conclusions, ignored character arcs, and numerous plot holes, leaving players feeling unsatisfied with the overall progression and resolution. Despite these criticisms, the series maintains a strong foundation and potential for further exploration, particularly regarding intriguing concepts like intelligent zombies.

“An excellent visual novel with an interesting storyline, memorable characters, and wonderful art!”
“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.”
“Though at first the story mainly focuses on the zombie part, it ultimately feels rushed and unsatisfying, leaving many plot points unresolved.”
“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, making it feel like the developers didn't care to provide a proper resolution.”

Character development in the game is a mixed bag; while some characters, particularly Yuusuke, exhibit notable growth, others see their development undermined or ignored in subsequent volumes. Despite some memorable moments, the inconsistency in character progression leaves players feeling that certain arcs are not fully realized, particularly as characters revert to earlier traits or make unexpected decisions that detract from their established growth. Overall, while enjoyable, the character development lacks the depth and continuity that could have made it truly impactful.
“However, I feel that overall it was still very enjoyable and Yuusuke's character development really shone through, which was nice to see.”
“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.”
“While it has some decent character development and good character moments, none of them are especially memorable.”
“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.”
