- “Along with an intriguing story, there aren't many bad things to say about this free to play game.”

- “The story is very linear and has only about three endings.”
- “There is a glitch near the end of a certain storyline where one character sprite doesn't disappear when it should, covering up the other one, which is really annoying.”

gameplay

0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions
The gameplay is largely limited to clicking through dialogue with minimal interactive elements, typical of a visual novel, but it is marred by a persistent glitch and poorly written text that detracts from the experience. Overall, the gameplay is considered unremarkable and somewhat frustrating.
- “There's only two things that really annoyed me with this game: one glitch near the end of a certain storyline where a character sprite doesn't disappear when it should, covering another character—really annoying; and the general mechanics while playing what is essentially a visual novel.”
- “As a visual/interactive novel, this game doesn't feature any notable gameplay. It's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, raising the question, 'How did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
- “Gameplay: 6”
