- “Road map looks good and dig the beat on the music.”
- “I liked the music even if it was a bit basic because it actually fits really well with these games where you explore an area until you encounter an enemy and the theme changes.”
- “Not gonna lie, the music made my ears bleed because it's so loud by default that it breaks the audio and starts getting all crunchy. The game design, or lack thereof, makes no sense.”

The game's storyline is described as intriguing and reminiscent of Undertale, with players expressing excitement for future updates. However, some critiques highlight issues such as vague and bland storytelling, poor dialogue quality, and a lack of engaging map design, which detracts from the overall narrative experience.
- “The art and music is nostalgic, the combat is simple yet engaging, and the storyline concept is intriguing.”
- “Really good game! I love the Undertale vibe, and I can tell the story is going to be amazing. I cannot wait for more updates.”
- “This is a pretty good game if you're looking for a challenge; it is very tough. I even managed to soft lock myself. It has a good story for what I've seen and a great art style. I would recommend it.”
- “I thought it was going to be a short, cool little indie game, but this game was admittedly sub-par: the dialogue is missing punctuation and has many typos. The wide open spaces, monotone color palette, and large, shapeless rooms make it very difficult to recognize where you're going, even though it seems to be lacking choice of paths and an interesting map plan. The battling becomes very repetitive (just selecting attack over and over again), and the story is very vague, bland, and not captivating in my opinion.”
