The game's story is hampered by a poor English translation, making it difficult for players to understand the narrative and interact meaningfully with NPCs. While the background setting is appealing, the overall storytelling feels disjointed and lacks clarity, leading to a recommendation primarily for those who prioritize gameplay over narrative. Despite its visual appeal, many reviewers find the story's execution inadequate and frustrating.
- “I haven't played enough to get through most of the story, but up until now, despite the translation issues, I've found it to be an enjoyable game.”
- “The game's background setting is attractive, but the specific story performance, items richness, and user interface friendliness still need to be improved.”
- “For now, I only recommend it to people who want the gameplay and don't care about the story, because you can't understand it yet.”
- “The game is supposedly story-oriented, but a rather lacking and botched English translation hinders the game, making it hard to understand the story and at times, what it wants from you.”
- “This causes a game that feels like it is very story-based to feel disjointed and that it's a struggle to understand exactly what the NPCs are saying.”
- “The story itself... I don't really know if there is a story, and if there is, it is very hard to pinpoint, at least from what I've played of the beginning.”

The gameplay has been described as addictive and satisfying, with enjoyable mechanics that can be grasped despite localization issues.

While some appreciate the unique mechanics, the poor execution and confusing presentation have led to mixed feelings about the game's playability.
- “Even though the English isn't perfect, I still find the game to be very enjoyable, and the gameplay is very addictive and satisfying.”
- “For now, I only recommend it to people who want the gameplay and don't care about the story, because you can't understand it yet.”
- “The English is enough to let you figure out the mechanics of the game and the gameplay, but not enough to follow along with what's going on.”
- “Gameplay feels incredibly clunky.”
- “Overall, while this game is visually stunning and is the main thing that attracted me to it, I can't recommend it as it is due to poor localization issues, clunky and tedious gameplay mechanics, and a lack of direction or story from the beginning.”
- “I wanted to like it because it seemed like it had some different mechanics you don't often see, but I couldn't force myself to play longer than 20 minutes because the game was very jarring to play with different pixel sizes for every different thing, like the game was assembled like a jigsaw puzzle of different assets from a thousand different sources.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly when interacting with museum guests, as the time constraints and clunky mechanics hinder meaningful engagement. Despite the game's visual appeal, the repetitive nature of these tasks and poor localization detract significantly from the overall experience.
- “Talking to the museum guests feels incredibly tedious and takes far too long. I don't know if there are upgrades later that help you speed up briefing them about the relic they're looking at, but at the beginning of this game, I'm constantly trying to run between two guests, and half the time the guest waiting gets bored and moves on. It barely gives me any time to talk to them before their patience gauge runs out.”
- “Overall, while this game is visually stunning and is the main thing that attracted me to it, I can't recommend it as it is due to poor localization issues, clunky and tedious gameplay mechanics, and a lack of direction or story from the beginning.”
