The story of this JRPG is described as simple yet immersive, focusing on character development and exploration, reminiscent of classic titles like "I Am Setsuna." While the narrative is engaging and beautifully presented, many reviewers note that it feels shorter than the first installment, with a cliffhanger ending that sets up anticipation for future episodes. Overall, the story is praised for its charm and depth, despite some criticism regarding its brevity and pacing.
- “The story, though criminally short, is absolutely one of the most immersive stories I've experienced in a good while, and even more impressive because it's done on such small budgets compared to other triple-A RPGs.”
- “Like episode 1, this game takes its time in developing the story and characters and ends on a cliffhanger.”
- “One of my favorite adventure JRPGs; I have played the first game and was amazed, but with the second installment, I am even more happy with the story and game. I am hyped to see the third game. Keep up the good work, Baka Neko devs! I definitely recommend the game to fans of the series, and if you are new to the series, pick up the first game before you play this one. If you are into adventure games, I think you might have an amazing time!”
- “Overall though, I found Haru's story mode to be about as long as both paths from the last game, making up for the new second story being just a quick epilogue.”
- “Very ambitious for one person and would nail it if it had a dedicated writer to tie together the interesting but otherwise lifeless elements of the story.”
- “In total, this episode consists of a main story and a short 10-minute end credit plot. The episode, like the first, plays, looks, and sounds beautiful, yet my biggest gripe is that this one really felt shorter than the first.”

Overall, the game offers a balanced challenge that encourages strategic thinking, despite its ease of play.
- “Difficulty is not hard, but adaptability and strategy are key components that help the gameplay feel overall much more engaging with different ways to approach it in episode 2.”
- “Huge improvement over the first one in a lot of ways, from the story to the mechanics and the diversity of combat.”
- “Overall, it feels similar to 'I Am Setsuna' where the gameplay and battle system are extremely retro and simple; the main focus is simply story progression, village and NPC exploration, and some dungeon exploration.”
- “There could've been more nuanced gameplay elements added, such as improvements to the battle system, equipment upgrades, items, and/or new mini-games.”
- “Gameplay is around 2.5 to 3 hours.”
