The story of the game is praised for its stunning and immersive narrative, which transitions from a wholesome slice-of-life experience to a darker, more complex tale filled with impactful choices and character development. While many players appreciate the depth and emotional weight of the storytelling, some critique its pacing and the reliance on an overarching narrative that may leave newcomers feeling lost. Overall, the game is recognized for its beautiful storytelling and character dynamics, making it a compelling experience for those willing to explore its layers.
- “The story is absolutely stunning, can't wait to see other endings.”
- “The romance itself is written amazingly, each character is built with a hint of humanity that makes them feel alive, and the time you spend with each character really allows people to grow equally attached to every single one.”
- “It starts as a sweet story with some slight horror aspects but mainly just wholesome, and to get the true ending the game takes a dark turn, making all those characters you loved go through so much.”
- “The game gives the illusion that the story is affected by choice, but the main character Simon makes a lot of the bigger choices.”
- “The slice of life section is at times unnecessarily slow, to the point that it can be annoying because the main character is insufferably dense just to lengthen some plot points.”
- “Unfortunately, all of this gets sacrificed on the altar of the radish ASMR lore, which spoils the story as a whole and provides a very unsatisfactory experience due to the lack of explanations or justifications.”

The emotional aspect of the game elicits a wide range of feelings, from joy and inspiration to sadness and terror, with players reporting moments that made them cry and feel deeply connected to the characters.

- “I cried at 3 different parts, feeling 3 completely different things each time.”
- “I don’t need a happy ending for the media I consume - in fact, I personally love when I get to interact with a piece of media that rips me apart emotionally, because at least it got me to feel something…”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their beauty and attention to detail, with commendable character designs and voice acting that enhance the overall experience.

- “Especially considering it's free, it has great, cute graphics, an interesting story, and amazing voice acting for the price.”

- “Kimochii Classroom has some genuinely high highs, with character arcs I was fully invested in wrapped in an aesthetically pleasing bow, but its non-ending actively sours the whole package personally.”
- “Finally, the art style.”
