The gameplay of this visual/interactive novel is criticized for being minimal, primarily consisting of clicking through poorly written and translated dialogue, leading to questions about its quality and suitability for publication on platforms like Steam.
- “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written, poorly translated Russian dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print. This poses the question, 'How did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
