The story is described as confusing and oddly written, characteristic of the developer katatema's unique style. Set in a bizarre and beautiful world, it offers a wealth of secrets and lore for players to explore, though the complexity may challenge comprehension, prompting some to seek out the original Japanese version. Overall, while the narrative may be perplexing, it intrigues players enough to engage with its depth.
- “In typical fashion for the developer Katatema, it has a bizarre and beautiful setting with tons of secrets, tiny bits of lore, and backstory for you to unlock, decipher, and dig into, should you feel like it.”
- “The story is indeed rather weirdly written and worded, but that seems to be Katatema's flair. It has made me doubt and argue with myself about the English version adaptation, and it even pushed me to learn Japanese, as I found that most of Katatema's writing seems to be out of standard comprehension.”
- “The narrative is filled with intriguing elements that invite exploration and interpretation, making the experience both challenging and rewarding.”
- “The story was really confusing to be honest, but it is fine.”
- “Story is... I think it is indeed rather weirdly written and worded, but that seems to be Katatema's flair. I have doubts and find myself arguing about the English version adaptation, as I tried to get ahead by reading the original Japanese version. It made me really curious and pushed me to learn Japanese, only to find that most of Katatema's writing seems to be out of standard comprehension.”
- “And in typical fashion for the developer Katatema, it has a bizarre and beautiful setting with tons of secrets, tiny bits of lore, and backstory for you to unlock, decipher, and dig into, should you feel like it.”
