The story of "Invisible Apartment" is generally viewed as a short and somewhat forgettable introduction to a larger series, set in a cyberpunk future with decent artwork.

Overall, the story shows potential but feels incomplete, leaving players wanting more depth and coherence in future installments.
- “The story is very intriguing; I thought the sleeper cell concept was very cool, and I only noticed more recently, in one of the dream sequences, my favorite instrumental piece was the background music, Gnossienne No. 3.”
- “The story must provide some kind of information that can be used to deduce what option to pick.”
- “The story is good and intriguing, though short, as it continues in the sequel.”
- “The story itself is extremely dumb, to be frank.”
- “The story is incredibly short, but it is just an introduction to the series basically.”

- “A calming, intriguing story with excellent music and beautiful artwork awash with a unique charm.”

The gameplay of this visual novel is criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, primarily consisting of clicking through poorly written dialogue with minimal choices that fail to create meaningful story branching. While some users appreciate the basic mechanics and visuals, many express frustration with bugs and abrupt transitions, leading to a general consensus that the game lacks the qualities of a well-rounded interactive experience. Overall, it is seen as a disappointing entry in the genre, with significant room for improvement.
- “Nice graphics, cool story and fun gameplay.. what else to say?”
- “Basic mechanics are fine.”
- “A simple yet wonderful visual novel gameplay.”
- “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, 'how did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
- “I find this mechanic to be lazy and a poor substitute for proper story branching.”
- “Also in terms of gameplay, it's purely a visual novel, with only minor choices that need to be made.”

Character development in the game is generally perceived as lacking, with many reviewers noting a slow progression and minimal emotional connection to the characters.

- “Hopefully, there's some character development later on in the second part, and maybe some progress in their relationship too?”

- “There is no real character development; you don't have any real connection to the character herself.”
- “Little to no character development, or it's severely slow in building that connection.”

The music, though generally good, could better align with the game's futuristic theme to enhance the emotional journey.

- “Music could have been better; I'd like it to fit more with the future style, but as general music for a novel, it is good and emotional.”
- “An emotional journey.”
humor

The game's humor is characterized by quirky interactions, such as a character's amusing exchanges with a parrot-shaped surveillance AI, and awkwardly phrased dialogue that adds to the comedic effect.

- “At one point, a character spends a bit of time interacting with a surveillance AI in the shape of a parrot, and for some reason, I found these sections pretty funny.”
- “The opening is hilariously awkwardly worded.”
- “There's funny dialogue, some of which is spoiled by translation issues, and there are rudimentary scene-setting moments.”

Users find the grinding aspect of visual novels and e-books tedious, likening it to a frustrating experience where progress is slowed by the need to click through text rather than enjoying a seamless reading experience. This repetitive clicking can feel laborious, leading some to suggest that it requires an excessive amount of time and effort, akin to needing a second life to fully engage with the content.
- “Grinding in this game is incredibly rewarding and keeps you engaged.”
- “The grind is satisfying and offers a real sense of progression.”
- “Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you want to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
