The story is self-contained yet features recurring characters from previous Renka games, primarily serving as backstory or references. Players interact with the narrative through a drag-and-drop mechanic involving characters and cards, though some find the plot confusing, particularly regarding alternate endings. Overall, the translation is well-executed, and there is a noticeable effort to enhance the storytelling experience.

“I can see that the quality of the product keeps growing and this never lets me down. This time I can see that Renka tried to add more story content, keeping doing his best to enhance the player's game experience.”
“The story feels somewhat confusing for me right now, but that might just be because I'm still missing some things, especially the other ending.”
“My brain is too small to actually understand what the story is supposed to be.”
“The main way to interact with the story and puzzles is to drag and drop characters or cards onto places, objects, or other cards, and on occasion combine them.”
