The story is generally engaging, featuring distinct characters and a darker, more serious tone that contrasts with the art style, adding depth or occasional tonal dissonance. However, the experience is sometimes hindered by poor and incomplete English translation, making parts difficult to understand. Despite this, many players find the narrative enjoyable and recommend aiming for the best ending, which is notably wholesome.
- “I must say really impressed by this game. Got it recommended by one of my friends and this game was so amazing and cute at the same time. As a furry, I enjoyed the game even more. If you like games like Changed, this game you should definitely try. It's easier than Changed. There are some puzzles that I struggled with but got them done without any guides. I must say some of the text was still in Chinese, so not 100% translated to English, but it was fine. I really enjoyed the story. I recommend going for the best ending; that is the most cute and wholesome ending you will see.”
- “It is undoubtedly inspired by Changed, however, it has its own story, characters, level design, and it stands on its two legs just fine.”
- “The story is engaging and the characters feel like all of them have a clear and distinct personality.”
