    The story received mixed feedback, with some players finding it confusing or lacking depth, especially compared to other games by the same developer. While the atmosphere and premise were noted as interesting, the narrative felt underdeveloped and unpolished, partly due to the game's short length and limited explanation. Overall, the story is seen as a clean-cut but somewhat empty experience with multiple endings.

    • “At the time of this review, I have played 3 out of the 4 games published by Yamoto, including this one. While Haunted Property and Urayama were very good in gameplay, graphics, settings, and story, this one is not a game I would recommend. I know it was Yamoto's first game, but with all due respect, it's not a good game.”
    • “Atmosphere and story are interesting, but the game feels very empty, maybe because it is very short (both endings under 30 minutes) and feels a bit unpolished.”
    • “From the atmosphere to the story, it is a clean-cut game with two endings.”
    • “Got both good and bad endings, still don't understand what the story is, can someone explain?”
    • “At the time of this review, I have played 3 out of the 4 games published by Yamoto, including this one. While Haunted Property and Urayama were very good in both gameplay (graphics and settings included) and story, this one is not a game I would recommend. I know it was Yamoto's first game, but with all due respect, it's not a good game...”
    • “Graphisms were not that great, there's no story. We can understand things in the other games, not this one (at least for me), and something that really disturbed me from start to finish was the zoomed-in view.”

Overall, the atmospheric design is a strong point that encourages interest in the developer's other works.

    • “Looking forward to trying this developer's other games too because Japanese horror is nicely atmospheric and unique.”

    The game's graphics are generally praised for creating a nice Japanese atmosphere with good visual presentation reminiscent of Chilla's art games. While the graphics are considered good, some users find them merely okay, fitting well with the game's short, walking simulator style.

    • “Good game, great graphics, creepy stalker.”
    • “Feels like a fever dream or something but the presentation, sound design, and graphics reminds me of Chilla's art games.”
