The gameplay combines traditional visual novel elements with light RPG mechanics, featuring simple yet engaging turn-based combat and skill trees that allow for character specialization. While the combat can be easily exploited, it offers a nice challenge, especially in multi-enemy scenarios, and the overall experience is enhanced by a compelling narrative and appealing visuals. Players appreciate the balance of narrative depth and gameplay, making it a fun and chill experience.
“I originally downloaded this game expecting a visual novel with no gameplay, I was very pleased with how they managed to mix RPG elements and turn-based strategy combat into the visual novel itself. Even though this game is only set to the end of season 1 of the show, they obviously took into account some future events and melded them without spoiling anything.”
“The gameplay and combat are good, but easily exploitable (you can just spam your shield move and cripple enemies with some moves). However, it's a really nice touch; some fights were actually challenging when it's you versus multiple people because you have to manage your limited HP and energy. There are 3 skill trees you can branch into while you level up and earn skill points, each one has its own advantage. I went with mostly dodging and counter-attacking.”
“Very well done, excellent comic graphics, engaging story, and a nicely challenging fight mechanic.”
“There's also simple and fairly easy turn-based combat mini-games in between the traditional visual novel gameplay.”
“Imho, the depth of the narrative and gameplay systems is just right for a project like this.”
“Specialization into different trees can change the gameplay and personality of Eve.”

“This was an interesting game—really short but has a good chance of being replayable 1-2 more times.”
“And this game has ten comfortable small chapters, for about 5 hours, not counting replayability.”
“There are some interesting choices that you can make too, so there is some replayability value to it as well.”
