The game's story is characterized by a funny and lighthearted narrative that prioritizes character interactions over deep plot development or emotional arcs. While some plot points feel rushed and lack satisfying resolutions, the overall charm and humor of the writing keep players engaged. The story serves more as a backdrop for gameplay rather than a driving force, with a desire for more character epilogues noted by some reviewers.
- “The very fun and heartwarming story of a girl and her cat, featuring marble.”
- “The story doesn't pack too much of a punch, but the levity and actual concrete writing bring enough humor to offset that so you still enjoy reading the dialogue.”
- “While neither the plot nor the characters experience any crazy development or change over the story, the game itself doesn't take itself very seriously, so most of the joy is from seeing the characters interact.”
- “Towards the later parts of the story, I felt like a couple of points were resolved or wrapped up a little quickly; some plot points were rushed, and things were brushed aside or dropped without adequate or satisfying explanation.”
- “To me, the story aspects sort of serve as a motivator and bonus for playing the maps. You'll like the characters for their designs and personalities, but don't expect to be super emotionally compelled by any personal struggles or character arcs.”

The gameplay of the recent updates has been praised for its snappy, engaging loop and innovative mechanics, offering a refreshing take on the SRPG genre without the burden of grinding.

- “A quick, lightweight SRPG with interesting mechanics, humorous writing, and a pleasant and synergistic aesthetic.”
