The story is criticized for lacking meaningful player agency, as choices do not significantly impact the narrative, leading to a min-maxing approach rather than genuine engagement. While the character art is praised for its quality, the overall storytelling is seen as lacking depth and excitement, failing to provide the spark that would enhance the experience.
“The flavor text it provides adds depth to the characters, even if the main story doesn't change much based on choices.”
“The biggest sin a CYOA game can commit is for the player to have no real agency in the story.”
