The story has a promising premise with immediate plot engagement and a motivated character, but it suffers from significant bugs and campy dialogue that detract from its overall quality. While the plot shows potential, it requires substantial rewriting and refinement to reach a professional standard. Many users advise against purchasing the game until these issues are resolved.
- “That said, the dialogue is fairly campy, so simply correcting obvious errors would not bring it to a professional level; that would require a rewrite. The plot itself is good so far, however.”
- “It's all very buggy and rubbish. The idea looks great, but I haven't been able to get past the start of the story. It still needs more work. I don't recommend buying this game yet unless it's sorted.”

Users express dissatisfaction with the music aspect, highlighting a lack of control over sound settings, such as the need for individual volume adjustments for different audio elements. This has contributed to a negative overall experience, leading some to regret their purchase.
- “There is a lot to do, as I said. The controls need to be editable, and the volume bar doesn't work for the sound. It needs a separate volume bar for each sound category, like SFX, music, voice, and environment. I wish I had never purchased this; sadly, I lost out on the money I paid for it.”
