- Some players find the sound mixing inconsistent, with voice levels varying significantly, which can detract from the overall experience.

story7 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in "Kansei" expands significantly on the narrative introduced in "Jisei," providing deeper insights into the characters and overarching plot, though it feels more like a chapter in a larger book than a standalone game. While the murder mystery aspect is present, players may find themselves more invested in the broader storyline than in uncovering the identity of the murderer. A notable criticism is the game's requirement to replay certain storylines to achieve different endings, which can detract from the overall experience.
“Kansei is much longer than jisei; we learn more about our group of gifted teenagers, and we get an idea of the overarching storyline.”
“This novel feels more like a part of a story (a chapter in a book, if you will) rather than an independent game.”
“If jisei was like a prequel, kansei is where the story really begins, and it's a game I feel you really need to play with the first one in order to understand whether or not this series will be for you.”
“This novel looks more like a part of a story (chapter in a book, if you wish) and not an independent game.”
“As a murder mystery, I don't really care about who the murderer is since this one has one main mystery/story which I'm looking forward to more than finding out about the murderer.”
“However, the largest problem with this title, in my opinion, is the 'persistent variable.' Essentially, you must complete a storyline once, technically fail, and go back to complete it again to get a different ending this time.”
