The game's story is described as engaging and immersive, allowing players to feel like they are part of a fantasy narrative while completing real-life tasks framed as quests. Users appreciate the progression system, which mirrors character development in traditional RPGs, and the integration of journaling enhances the storytelling experience.

- “If you are a person who loves anything fantasy with good storytelling and stunning art, then this game is for you ”
- “It’s like stepping into a storybook where you’re the student.”
- “The aesthetic is very nice, and the progression of unlocked scenes tells a story that's just barely detailed enough for you to be given something to think about as you go.”
- “I would like the option to have more than 10 quests in each the main quest and side quest lists.”
- “Only points for suggestion would be that once quests (tasks) are completed, they get marked down in the journal, and that there was more historical data for quests/habits, as it seems to just be erased once you're complete with them or a new week is done.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its rewarding mechanics that encourage exploration and productivity, with features like a to-do list and ambient sound options enhancing the experience. While the elemental pets add charm, some players feel the mechanics lack depth and puzzle elements. Overall, the game strikes a balance between being a fun distraction and a useful productivity tool, though some may find it grindy due to level-locked locations.
- “I really like the progression mechanic, that can either reward you after finishing a Pomodoro timer or just while the game is open.”
- “The game mechanics are rewarding and motivate you to study and explore, and being able to decorate your home with money you earn for using the focus app is a nice touch to give you a little lift on your breaks.”
- “So obviously the music is really nice, the art and animation beautiful, the world interesting and the light game mechanics fun but the user experience is so nice, the features function so cleanly, it allows you to journal your day, your week, your habits and write down your notes for upcoming appointments and events or whatever, but it does not get in your way at all.”
- “I'm not new to the genre, but I felt that the game mechanics to earn coins and get the elementals are more of a distraction than a working companion app.”
- “It is a fairly easy mechanic without much puzzle; you just need to visit places and find them hidden in the environment.”
- “This game might be grindy for some as locations are locked by levels, requiring gameplay hours to level up.”
