- “Paradise is the kind of story you want to keep reading to get to the next drop of information that hints about the truth of the situation its protagonist finds himself in.”
- “Captivating story.”
- “What I didn’t expect, though, was how much of the story felt like it was missing at first.”
- “I ended up adding the patch myself, and that’s when I realized just how much lore, character backstory, and important context had been held back.”
- “Story: 4/10 (the main character is passive in both the Matsuda route and Mitsugi route, whereas in the Takara route, he suddenly becomes much more active. I guess even the writers were fed up with the whole process and just wanted to rush toward the end and say sayonara.)”

- “Not only are the JAST USA visual novels translated well with good UIs, characterization, story, art, music, and writing, but sometimes it's censored on Steam, which makes me feel a lot less guilty.”
- “Music & SFX: 1/10 - I always play games with background music and sound effects on, but the music here is so bland and contradictory at times that I ended up muting it.”
