The game offers a unique detective-style gameplay experience, focusing on solving puzzles and gathering clues rather than traditional RPG combat.
The story is engaging and provides a rich backstory that connects well with the Labyronia series, making it enjoyable for fans of the franchise.
The music and setting are well-crafted, contributing to an immersive atmosphere that enhances the overall experience.

The game suffers from a lack of direction, often requiring players to backtrack extensively and use guides to progress, which can be frustrating.
Many puzzles are overly complex or obscure, making it difficult to figure out what to do next without external help.
The absence of a leveling system and minimal combat can make the gameplay feel slow and tedious, leading to a lack of excitement.

The game's story is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its intriguing murder mystery premise and connections to the Labyronia series, while others find it convoluted and poorly executed. Many reviews highlight the lack of direction and tedious fetch quests that detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration and disengagement. Despite its flaws, some players enjoyed the depth and character development, suggesting that the story can be engaging for those willing to invest the time to navigate its complexities.
- “The game's protagonist (Windir) has a really nice story.”
- “The main storyline, the murder of a high rank mage called Dinyon and Windir (the player character) trying to clear his name, while being accused of being the man behind the dirty deed, is a very well put together detective story that will keep you guessing until pretty late who the true culprit is.”
- “Despite that, I would like to recommend this game to everyone and anyone, who is willing to learn about a new colorful world with detailed characters and plot that will keep you invested in the story of Windir.”
- “I was not able to stay interested in the story.”
- “The story is rather bland and to the point.”
- “The plot is overly contrived, and the world-building comes in the form of a series of infodumps that somehow manage to be brief and rambling at the same time, failing to explain anything very clearly and sometimes giving apparently contradictory info.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and simplistic, typical of RPG Maker titles. While some enjoyed the initial fun and exploration, they later felt bogged down by grinding, tedious puzzles, and unclear mechanics that detracted from the overall experience. Overall, the gameplay lacks innovation and depth, leading to frustration and boredom for several players.
- “Gameplay is your typical RPG Maker affair, where you explore from the classic top-down formula that we've all come to know and love from the RPG Maker software.”
- “Instead, the gameplay revolves around you exploring the game world, finding objects, talking to NPCs, and figuring out puzzles.”
- “The battles with enemies could be a bit challenging, but nonetheless the gameplay did not fail to make up for it.”
- “Bad JRPG with a very simple story and gameplay that is not fun at all.”
- “Repetitive gameplay, easy fights, annoying puzzles, and a lot of backtracking.”
- “It's not a dealbreaker, but it did annoy me that the appeal of the game - murder mystery puzzle solving - had been replaced by the most basic RPG Maker mechanics I had played so many times before.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the soundtrack and finding it enjoyable, while others criticize its repetitiveness and lack of variety, noting that tracks often loop every 30-60 seconds. Additionally, issues such as loud volume levels and misplaced music choices detract from the overall experience for some users. Despite these criticisms, a few players highlight the music as a standout feature, contributing positively to their enjoyment of the game.
- “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
- “The soundtrack of the game is probably one of my favorites out of most games I've played.”
- “I was never bored, the characters were interesting and detailed, and I really approved of the music selections they chose from RPG Maker.”
- “At least until you realize everything repeats every time you enter a screen that plays the tune, and each tune is 30-60 seconds long on repeat, usually just modifying the same 2-4 bars of music.”
- “From the music to the characters to the gameplay, it's so boring.”
- “First it's not even a JRPG, it's a bad 'point and click adventure' in which you will spend most of your time just walking the same hall with the same horrible music just to test the item you just got with every NPC and door hoping it will work and give you another item to... guess what?”
grinding

100%
Players find the grinding in this game to be tedious and unfulfilling, primarily consisting of repetitive fetch quests rather than traditional leveling or enemy encounters. While there is no extensive level grinding, the need to repeatedly engage in mundane tasks for minimal rewards contributes to a drawn-out experience. Overall, the lack of a robust leveling system and the focus on monotonous objectives detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
- “Completing this game is hard and tedious, since it's mostly a bunch of fetch quests put together.”
- “Labyronia 1 and 2 were great, but this game is just tedious.”
- “It's not your everyday JRPG with many hours of grinding and leveling up, since there is no such thing as a leveling up system.”

- “Other than that, I was bored within minutes, and even for an RPG Maker game, the graphics were pretty bad.”
- “Not that I should be expecting top-of-the-line graphics out of an RPG Maker game by any means, but when the enemy sprites are so blurry that it's painful to look at, I have to speak up.”

Users report experiencing several bugs that affect gameplay stability, such as limited interaction with objects and issues with switches. These glitches can lead to frustration, especially during extended play sessions, detracting from the overall experience.
- “This game has been quite buggy for me at times. For example, there's a candle you can interact with from multiple sides (right, up, down, left), but you can only light it from one side. Another issue was a switch on a statue that was difficult to activate. If the game is a bit buggy, or if you're feeling tired, it can lead to a lot of frustration, and that's really annoying.”
