The story is a charming and simple romance that focuses on character growth and mutual support between the protagonists, enhanced by calming music and appealing artwork. While the plot device of a love interest moving away is somewhat clichéd, it is executed in a way that feels organic and engaging. Overall, the narrative is well-received, particularly for its integration with puzzles.
“Such a great story game with puzzles!”
“It's a pretty simple story at its core, a typical romance where the two characters are able to become better people through their relationship with one another, and motivate each other to do the right things and move forward in life and confront their problems.”
“Although the plot point of 'love interest suddenly moving away' is pretty overdone (not to say it's bad), I think it was interesting here since it wasn't exactly sudden, and it was in play from day one.”

The graphics in the game have received mixed feedback, with some users suggesting that the visual presentation feels more suited for a graphical novel than a puzzle game. This indicates a disconnect between the game's visual style and its intended gameplay mechanics.
