The story is described as a cute and comedic yuri narrative that serves primarily as an extended epilogue to the previous game, offering a feel-good experience with charming illustrations. While some players appreciate the focus on character relationships and different perspectives, others find the humor repetitive and the overall plot lacking in depth, leading to mixed feelings about its engagement and value. Overall, it is recommended for fans of the genre, particularly those who enjoyed the original title, but may not appeal to everyone due to its specific tone and pacing.
“It's a fairly sweet feel-good story, though, which might be worth picking up if you want some fluffy yuri goodness.”
“Since I don't want to repeat myself, I will only say that I recommend this part in the same way I did with the first one: it is a heartfelt yuri story that literally makes one's day brighter.”
“Overall, the story feels like an extended epilogue to the previous game.”
“While it's clear that they do this for the 'comedy' in which they kept using from the beginning to the end of the story, it gets old pretty fast and to a certain degree annoying...”
“If the story would’ve been arranged even just slightly differently to not result as bland and even bothersome from the player’s point of view, we could’ve gotten something more playful and fun to read through.”
