The story has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the writing as poor and noting a lack of depth, as it unfolds over just two days focused on pursuing one of five "club girls." While each girl has her own storyboard and multiple endings to explore, many feel that the absence of satisfying conclusion cutscenes diminishes the overall experience. The unique approach deviates from typical slice-of-life narratives, but the execution leaves much to be desired.
“This game is quite unique due to not being slice of life like most of the other similar FMV games, but a short story happening in 2 days, where the main protagonist is focused on chasing one of the 5 'club girls'.”
“But each girl has her own storyboard, which is great.”
“You can, of course, get some more playtime out of it by making different choices with the girls (which you can do via storyboard if you want to) or hunting the missing endings (each girl has 3).”
“The story writing is terrible.”
“First up, there is no story.”
“You can get some more playtime out of it by making different choices with the girls, but I think ending hunting is not as fulfilling as in other games since 5 out of 6 girls do not have ending cutscenes.”
