The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with many players finding it genuinely hilarious and entertaining, particularly praising the distinct personalities of the characters and their witty dialogues. However, some reviewers feel that the humor falls flat, likening it to juvenile writing and expressing disappointment in the lack of romance. Overall, while the comedic elements resonate well with many, they may not appeal to everyone.

“It's hilarious, the characters all have very distinct personalities, and you can choose your own schedule for meetings.”

Overall, the game offers high replayability due to its engaging dating app-inspired interface and decent plot and characters. While some aspects, like the "march against heaven," may feel superficial, players still find the entertainment value sufficient for multiple playthroughs. However, stability issues with the console may affect the overall experience.
“The dating app or social media inspired GUI is fun (a la Mystic Messenger, but with no horrible waking up at 3am for the game's duration!) decent plot, characters, and even replay value!”
“+ Replay value very high.”
“This still gets a positive review from me for replayability value/entertainment.”
“Of course, it gives room for replayability, but the march against heaven was handled very superficially in my opinion.”
“This still gets a positive review from me for replayability value/entertainment, but just be aware that the console itself needs a good few stability updates.”
“+ replay value very high”
