The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and cohesion, with many reviewers noting that it feels like a collection of low-quality RPG Maker assets rather than a cohesive narrative. While the art style is appreciated, the characters lack development, and the overall experience is described as a make-your-own-adventure with little to no structured storyline.
- “Paul's world is one of hundreds of low-effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit. In their own words, 'our easy-to-use tools are simple enough for a child.' Like all RPG Maker 'games', this is essentially a bunch of low-quality/canned assets from RPG Maker, but at least this one eschews the high school anime club fan fiction for... well, pretty much no cohesive story at all.”
- “The art style is fun and clean, but there is a lack of depth to the characters and there is no storyline.”
- “This game has no story to speak of, but it is make-your-own-adventure.”

- “The art style is fun and clean, providing a visually appealing experience.”
- “Graphics are good, 7/10; it's really enough for these kinds of games.”

The gameplay is criticized for its poor quality, featuring low-resolution pixel art and frustrating movement mechanics, particularly a slow walk speed that detracts from the overall experience.
- “Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low-quality, copy-pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”
- “Mostly, I found the walk speed to be frustrating, and when combined with the movement mechanics, it was unplayable.”
