The game's story is characterized by a lengthy main narrative intertwined with over a hundred side quests, many of which are unrelated to the main plot and often involve repetitive tasks. While the main storyline, focusing on the characters Lilly and Sasha, is engaging and features humorous dialogue, it tends to take a backseat to the numerous side quests, which can detract from the overall narrative experience. Players who enjoy puzzle-solving and character interactions may find the story enjoyable, but those seeking a more combat-driven RPG may feel unsatisfied.
- “The story, the puzzles, some of the side quests, and the general atmosphere of the game are really well made.”
- “If you like JRPGs with a great story, memorable moments, side quests, and collectibles, this one is for you.”
- “Overall, I thought the story held together really well and there were some good laughs throughout.”
- “The premise of the story, where Lilly and Sasha must find a way to reverse Sasha's demonic possession, quickly takes a back seat to completing a series of quests, and is barely mentioned throughout the game.”
- “While the main storyline is about saving Sasha, most of the game is spent doing side quests and running around in circles.”
- “In the end, you don’t feel fulfilled because the story carries over to the next game, so really not much is accomplished, making this title feel like a very long prologue.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising the catchy battle themes and overall soundtrack, while others criticize it as poorly composed and mismatched with the game's tone.

Overall, opinions vary widely, reflecting a divide between those who find the music enjoyable and those who consider it a detriment to the experience.
- “The music is absolutely amazing and the story has quite a bit of humour in it.”
- “The battle music was very catchy, which is good since you will end up hearing it a lot.”

- “The music is just straight up garbage and doesn't go with this game.”
- “Honestly, I couldn't play this for longer than an hour - the story is pretty dreadful on its own (at least when you first start playing) - but pair that with music that makes your ears bleed and a poorly fleshed out battle system and you've got yourself... Lilly and Sasha, I guess!”
- “The music doesn't sound good, just crappy and lazily written; the whole tone of the story is so painfully tongue-in-cheek that it loses any comedic effect.”

The gameplay is a mixed bag, featuring creative mechanics and a variety of gameplay styles, but it suffers from clunky controls and a lack of essential interface elements that hinder navigation and pacing. While the game offers an engaging story and retro charm, many players noted that the mechanics feel simplistic and can become tedious, especially with the frequent idle time due to slow menu animations. Overall, it provides a decent experience for its price, appealing to those who enjoy RPG elements and a point-and-click adventure feel.
- “What really sets this game apart is how creative they were with using the mechanics.”
- “There is a healthy mix of different types of gameplay.”
- “Really nice game, a good story and fun gameplay.”
- “To summarize, the game is not the best representative of a genre and lacks many essential interface elements that would only improve the gameplay.”
- “Then there is the clunky gameplay that won't let you move around fast and easily with arrow keys; I can only assume the developer focused on mouse-driven gameplay. Not being able to navigate around properly can be quite nerve-wracking.”
- “When you add to that the bad info menu skipping mechanics that force you to wait for menu animations on repeated events, it practically doubles the playing time of the game, with plenty of moments idling in wait for the game to proceed to a skippable part.”

- “It uses a lot of graphics and sounds outside of the RPG Maker generic library.”
- “Excellent music, graphics, and gameplay.”
- “The artwork of the characters feels too bland and the world could also use a little more interactivity, random treasure to find searching in bushes and pots and such.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, with many preferring to engage in side quests rather than repetitive enemy battles. While the game allows for completion without extensive grinding, the lack of an auto-fight feature exacerbates the monotony of combat. Overall, the design encourages focusing on story and puzzles, but some quests can feel overly convoluted and tedious.
- “My main grief with this game is with a lack of auto-fight, making the repetitive fights more tedious than they already are in a typical JRPG.”
- “There really isn't too much in the battle part; you will do a lot of grinding even in easy mode, but don't ever expect a new skill to be acquired through leveling up or the development of the story because there is no such thing.”
- “I also like that the game is designed so that you don't need to grind, because grinding is not interesting, in spite of what some game designers seem to think.”
