Players note that the game has a significant grind factor, even on recommended settings, which may deter some. However, those who enjoy farming and life simulation games may still find it worthwhile due to its appealing character art and sound design.
- “I do like the character art a lot, as well as the varied personalities and sound design, so I'll leave a positive review for now, but the game seems to be designed to be very, very grindy even on the recommended setting.”

The game's art style is praised for its charm and cuteness, contributing to a relaxing atmosphere. However, some players have experienced significant technical issues, such as a black screen upon starting, which detracts from the overall graphical experience.
- “It has a surprisingly well-made art style, especially considering it's the developers' first game, if I remember correctly.”
- “The graphics are cute, the music is relaxing, and the atmosphere in the game is just very chill.”
- “Was really looking forward to trying this game out, but after choosing a save file the screen goes black and the only thing I can see is the cursor (and eventually a box appears at the top saying to select difficulty). It feels like the background graphics can't or won't load in properly or something. I don't have the best computer, but I've never run into any issues before with other games. I'll likely have to get the product refunded, unfortunately.”
