  • gameplay1 mentions

    The gameplay is criticized for being minimal and unengaging, primarily consisting of clicking through poorly written dialogue that detracts from the overall experience. Many users question how such low-quality writing made it to a platform like Steam.

    • “As a visual/interactive novel/dating sim, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print. This poses the question, 'How did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
    • “The gameplay is incredibly repetitive and lacks any real depth, making it feel more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
    • “I found the mechanics to be clunky and unresponsive, which severely detracted from my overall enjoyment of the game.”

    Users find the grinding aspect of visual novels and e-books tedious, likening the experience to a frustratingly slow reading process where each sentence requires a mouse click, detracting from the enjoyment of the narrative.

    • “Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best. Imagine the best novel you ever read, whether it's 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', '2001: A Space Odyssey', or 'Twilight' (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you want to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”
    • “Grinding in this game feels like an endless chore. The repetitive tasks drain the enjoyment out of what could have been a great experience.”
    • “The amount of grinding required to progress is overwhelming. It turns what should be an engaging journey into a monotonous slog.”
  • humor1 mentions

    The humor in the game is largely driven by the distinct personalities of the characters, which often elicit genuine laughter from players.

    • “The characters' personalities really made me laugh at times.”
    • “The witty dialogue kept me chuckling throughout the game.”
    • “I loved the clever puns and humorous situations that popped up unexpectedly.”
