The gameplay in this visual novel is primarily driven by story progression, with limited interactivity that often leads to a feeling of passivity among players. While the choice mechanics and multiple endings offer some replay value, many users criticize the lack of variation and repetitive gameplay elements, as well as restrictive save options that detract from the overall experience. Suggestions for improvement include enhancing the save functionality and providing more engaging gameplay mechanics to elevate player involvement.
- “Well, while a visual novel is mainly the story itself, there are gameplay elements I should address that make or break the game.”
- “The game has the choice mechanic where you're able to choose your own path, and the game has multiple endings, so replay value is very high within this game.”
- “Although it matches all the criteria a visual novel must have, the game mechanics are different from others; for example, you don't have the possibility to save the game whenever you want, you just get the option to save at certain save points in the game.”
- “As for the gameplay itself, I have one minor complaint: there's not nearly enough variation to the story to feel like you're as active in the quest as I certainly would have.”
- “All you do is click the screen or press enter on your keyboard to advance the story, so there isn't much gameplay.”
- “With the game's current content, playability, and gameplay, it should only be $5, once again, in my opinion.”

Character development in the game is a mixed bag; while the character designs and artwork are praised for their uniqueness and quality, many reviewers feel that the actual development of the characters is lacking, with limited choices and depth.

- “Artwork, character design, dialogue flow, soundtrack, and replay value are all stellar components of this game and the tale it has to tell!”
- “Another detail that should be said is the art style; even if you are not into the furry fandom, you must admit that the character design and scenes are very well detailed.”
- “For starters, there is this aura of mystery that is very cool until it makes you feel like it's overcompensating for a lack of character development.”
- “Yes, there is poor character development, not many choices, and blah blah.”
- “Most of the character designs are bad; I felt like I was browsing people's OCs on Fur Affinity.”

By the way, this game made my life meaningful; it changed me in a good way.”

- “It seems to have a lot of replayability too, because of the different choices you can make along the way, but I won't verify that until the whole story is out, since I want to keep my first feeling choices during my first playthrough.”
