The story aspect of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and full of mystery, while others criticize it for being disjointed and poorly executed. Many appreciate the multiple protagonist storytelling technique and the emotional depth, but frustrations arise from a lack of direction and coherence in the narrative. Overall, while some players are drawn in by the story's intrigue, others feel it suffers from significant flaws and inconsistencies.
- “Honestly, what is keeping me playing is the story.”
- “+excellent story that is full of mystery, intrigue, and even some high school drama moments, that are surprisingly entertaining for how cringy they could potentially be.”
- “It ties in wonderfully with the other games in the series, it's got a lot of places to explore, it's not a short game, and the story is woven in well and is an emotional journey.”
- “In line with pretending the garbage 'content' in this RPG Maker asset flip has any importance, it's not even a single cohesive story, but five different garbage fanfictions with five different map sets slapped together, which seems like a lot of work considering, as their past actions show, Big Black Bear are quite happy to just dump an entire demo/asset pack onto Steam as-is and claim it as their work.”
- “And the world is designed in a way that going the most logical route for the story is to go through the most obtuse trickery you ever experienced.”
- “- not much direction of where to go to advance the plot of the story.”

Gameplay reviews are mixed, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses. While some players appreciate the engaging boss battles, puzzles, and unique mechanics across different worlds, others criticize the game for its frustrating design choices and reliance on tedious mazes that extend playtime artificially.

- “If you have a handicap or just hate fast-paced, optimization-necessary gameplay, you aren't escaping it here!”
- “It claims to have 50 to 90 hours of gameplay time, but I feel that is probably due to the mazes padding gameplay considerably.”
