The story is praised for its engaging atmosphere and adult themes, with some players appreciating the callbacks to previous games and the charm of the polyamorous romance plot. However, the narrative is noted to be shorter than previous installments, leading to a rushed ending that left some players feeling disappointed, particularly regarding character relationships. Overall, while the immersive experience and meaningful choices are highlighted, the pacing and conclusion of the story received mixed feedback.
“It was nice to see small callbacks to the previous game in a game that didn't carry over a protagonist - which is quite the rarity - and I found the polyamorous romance plot especially charming.”
“The more adult tone of this story is definitely up my alley and I might be biased in saying this is my favorite story set in this world so far, but it really is.”
“I loved every second of the game although it felt short to me because I was immersed in the story.”
“My only downside was that the ending was really extremely rushed, and because of a plot twist (sorry no spoilers here) and my general good intentions as a human being I lost the chance to end up with either of the two love interests I was interested in, despite the fact that I had a great relationship with them going up to that point.”
“(sigh) The story ends within a few short paragraphs after that, and it just sort of left me feeling disappointed.”
“I just don't think I can go along with something like that in the name of love, even if it's only in a story.”

Despite its shorter length compared to other narrative-driven games, it offers high replayability due to significant choices that lead to distinctly different pathways, encouraging players to explore multiple outcomes.
“As others have said, this is much shorter than most choice-based stories; however, it has great replayability, and the choices really do count as the different pathways could not be more unalike.”
