The story aspect is enriched by a wealth of lore that not only develops the game's world but also conveys short narratives, creating a layered and immersive storytelling experience.
- “There seemed to be a lot of lore pieces that built up the world around you, and there were others that, in the same swoop, also told a short story.”
- “The story felt disjointed and lacked a cohesive narrative, making it hard to stay engaged.”
- “Character development was minimal, leaving me feeling disconnected from their journeys.”

The gameplay is engaging and well-received for its unique concept, but players have noted a lack of checkpoints, particularly on level 2, which can be frustrating as it requires starting over upon death. Despite this annoyance, many are willing to continue playing and appreciate the overall experience.
- “I found this game through posts on r/bisexualteens and I was hooked immediately. It is a very cool concept, and I really liked the gameplay. However, when you die on level 2, there aren't exactly checkpoints, and you just start over. I am fine with this, as I can just get back, but it's still a tad bit annoying. I will play more later and update my review, though!”
