The story is completely linear, with choices feeling like mere 'flavor text' and lacking meaningful impact.
Several promised features, such as duel fights and unique items, are missing, leading to a feeling of incompleteness.
The battle system could have benefited from more depth and variety, as it becomes repetitive in the latter half of the game.

The game's story is described as linear, with player choices serving mainly as "flavor text," leading to a lack of meaningful impact on the narrative. While the main storyline is criticized for its brevity and underdeveloped antagonist, the character side stories are praised for their depth and engaging writing, making them more enjoyable than the main plot. Overall, players find the writing compelling enough to warrant replaying the game to explore these richer character narratives.
- “Going through the stories of each character is so therapeutic that I'm most likely going to replay the game on story to enjoy the rest I missed.”
- “This is a good game with an interesting storyline.”
- “The best part of the game is easily the writing, specifically everything except the main story itself.”
- “It's a Persona-esque game with Fire Emblem-like gameplay, though the story, from what I read on the forums, is completely linear. The story choices you make are just 'flavor text', so to speak.”
- “Even the story felt like it should've had a second half, especially since the store featured some misleading content. Some elements never appeared in the actual game itself; for example, I never saw the part where I get to yell/laugh/cry at Kyle, which suggests deleted scenes.”
- “June was set up to be this main antagonist during the beginning of the game, but not only did she have the least amount of screentime (barring super side characters like Kyle), she only has 3 story scenes. Like, what the hell?”
