The game's story has received widespread acclaim for its depth, engaging plot, and well-developed characters, with many players praising the multiple endings and the impact of their choices on the narrative. While some found the pacing slow at the beginning and noted a few minor plot holes, the overall writing quality and immersive experience kept players invested throughout.

- “Excellent story with multiple endings.”
- “The plot and dialogue were outstanding.”
- “The story is rich, multi-dimensional, multi-layered, and so much more suspenseful and fun than I expected it would be.”
- “The demo does not do this story any justice.”
- “Story is okay, but a bit underwhelming, and gets entangled in itself rapidly.”
- “Very short for a price of $5, I suggest lowering its price or at least a 350,000 words. Paid $5 and am not satisfied with the ending as if you ended in the middle of the story.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with users expressing frustration over intrusive ads and the limited free content, which only covers a fraction of the game. Many feel that the $6 price tag is steep for the amount of content provided, and there are calls for a more transparent free-to-play model that includes ads rather than a paywall. Overall, players perceive the monetization approach as a cash grab, detracting from the overall experience.
- “The game is advertised as free, but only the first few chapters are available if you don't pay $6, and on top of that, it's full of ads.”
- “Obvious cash grab is obvious.”
- “Annoying ads, especially considering you can't even play the full game without paying - if 3/4 of the game requires payment, the free portion shouldn't need ads.”
