The game's story is generally viewed as underwhelming, with many players finding it either too minimal or poorly integrated into the gameplay, often hindered by auto-scrolling text that skips important narrative elements. While some users appreciated the character development and plot, others criticized the lack of depth and coherence, suggesting that the story could benefit from more focus and elaboration. Overall, the narrative aspect seems to be a mixed bag, with a few positive remarks overshadowed by a majority of negative feedback regarding its execution.
- “Good story, I approve! :D”
- “A very nice game with a good plot and all; I hope you develop the game fully soon!”

- “There is a story, but you have to fight to get to it, and I lost interest.”
- “To make things worse, the auto-scrolling (which cannot be disabled) changes speed throughout the game, and will inevitably skip over story and/or instructions without giving you a chance to read it, while 95% of the time wasting your time as you wait for the text to advance.”
- “In order to get through the girls' storylines (using that term loosely), you will be subjected to pedantic and poorly explained mini-games.”
