The story of the game is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its typical otome charm and character backstories, while others criticize its predictability and rushed pacing. Although the routes offer some depth and reveal new information, many feel that the narrative lacks complexity and emotional resonance, particularly in the relationships. Overall, while the game has enjoyable elements, it suffers from a lack of depth and coherence, leading to a somewhat flat experience.
- “After playing all three routes, I noticed that each route slightly reveals new information, leading to the next route that not only brings up that same information but builds on top of it, further tying up more loose ends of the story.”
- “Moreover, Brad has a great backstory and issues of his own that he battles against, and it's lovely seeing the amount of support Hinata gives him.”
- “The story and characters are interesting, and the choices aren't so complicated that you need a guide to reach the good endings.”
- “The story loses something by being too obvious right from the start.”
- “Started off strong with the mystery of the impostor for Hinata, but then it just started to go into a forced love thing with the guys. You piece it together as you play the other routes, but nothing more really sticks and it sort of falls a bit flat in most areas since you have to play certain routes first in order to understand the story a bit more.”
- “It took me around one and a half hours to finish a single route, which already gives away that the story isn't in-depth enough.”

- “Minus the Jesus song that consistently appears near the end of every route and really took me out of the immersion.”
- “The background music was honestly a bit jarring and I ended up muting it and listening to something else, and if you play and don’t like the title screen music, I highly suggest doing the same.”
- “Also, the song about Jesus in a yaoi game sounded in bad taste.”
