The story is described as basic, with a clear structure consisting of one main quest and five side quests per chapter, at least through the third chapter. While the main quests involve dungeon exploration and boss battles, side quests primarily offer fetch tasks and lack significant narrative depth, often featuring generic visuals and text descriptions. The main quest scenes are fully voiced in Japanese, but side quests do not include voice acting, and the overall storytelling is considered minimal and not particularly engaging.
“In each chapter, there is one main quest and five side quests (at least through chapter three anyway).”
“The main quest will send you to the next dungeon where you can clear the entire place and defeat the boss at the end.”
“Sometimes you can complete a side quest two different ways.”
“As for the story, it is basic.”
“Side quests don’t really have scenes, but just generic closeups of the goods with text descriptions of activity.”
“The first scene, and what the priest does when you talk to him to advance the main story, seem to be unavoidable.”

The gameplay features a mix of dungeons and fetch quests, offering a simple yet enjoyable experience enhanced by well-drawn sprites and high-quality artwork in h-scenes. The Japanese voice-over adds to the immersion, while the element of choice and its consequences introduces an intriguing layer of mystery. However, some users noted that gameplay elements were lacking in the game's code.
