The story is extensive and features a total of 101 scenes, with a focus on verbose yet accessible storytelling, presented in still images and maintaining the original Japanese localization style. Players will need to make a strategic save at a key choice to efficiently explore all routes, although an unlock-all option is available for those who prefer to bypass this. External updates are crucial for accessing the full narrative and additional content.
“It's all stills, and in Shiravune localization fashion, it is still kept in its original Japanese form. However, between the extensive story and the additional append content, there are a whopping 101 scenes with a myriad of changes to progress, along with the verbose but not overly wordy storytelling.”
“There is only one choice about halfway through the main story that you'll want to make a save at to be more efficient in visiting all routes. For the extra impatient, there is an unlock all option as well.”
“External updates are going to be very important to get the most out of the story and content.”

The music in the game is well-received, complemented by excellent voice acting, particularly from the female cast, whose fully recorded lines add depth and immersion to the experience.
“The music is fantastic, and the voice acting is excellent. Every line by the female cast is recorded, which is impressive considering it isn't just a few hours of speed reading.”
