The music in the game has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with many reviewers praising its quality and catchiness, often describing it as "amazing" and "top-notch." The soundtrack not only enhances the overall experience but also complements the game's humor and charm, making it enjoyable enough for players to listen to outside of gameplay. Overall, the music is considered a standout feature that significantly contributes to the game's appeal.
“The soundtrack is amazing and definitely worth buying just to listen to each track individually on repeat for hours.”
“Absolutely amazing music, delightful artwork, lots of little choices and variances to how things play out.”
“The music slaps, too, I've legit left the game running in the background for a few hours just listening to it.”
“The way everything from the music to the characters to the writing is so charming while also being thoroughly terrible in every way a game can be to an almost exploratory sense is astounding.”
“The music was composed by dev plasterbrain and it balances the line of silly and serious very well.”
“There are a few instances where the constant text-reading is broken up with a visual or musical joke, with a random mechanic (like QTEs) being thrown in every so often.”

The story of the game is a humorous and engaging experience, characterized by a consistent timeline and a unique blend of silliness and depth. While the characters are distinct and often defined by specific gimmicks, they contribute to a narrative that cleverly parodies dating sims and incorporates various routes that enhance player choice. Overall, the writing is filled with jokes and absurdity, making it a fun and layered journey that balances comedy with surprisingly engaging storylines.
“The story is very unique, especially for the fact that it seldom, if ever, takes itself seriously.”
“It's clear how much effort the creator put into this story and game design, and it paid off so much because this game is by far the most hilarious and surprisingly layered game I've played in a long time.”
“And although the humor is the main draw here, the storylines for each character are surprisingly engaging, the characters are all great, it has a really good soundtrack, and the art is fun and expressive.”
“What is basically the game version of a shit-post made up of in-jokes between the creator and her friends, hidden between a mess of insanely designed characters, a lot of spelling and grammar errors, and all the jokes taken from visual novels is an oddly sweet story of a girl trying to make friends in a new town.”
“The sprinkled-in horror elements and time travel plot felt a bit tacked-on and generic.”
“It relies on the fact that it is a parody about dating sims and it knows it, poking a lot of fun at its own ineptitude and twisting and turning wildly with non sequiturs or strange logic that could only survive in a game that allows its storytelling to go as off the rails as it wants in order to tell a joke.”

The gameplay of this visual novel primarily involves clicking and reading, with a focus on quirky choices that lead to multiple routes, each offering unique mechanics and a cohesive final route. While it features occasional breaks in text with visual or musical jokes and some quick-time events, it is not designed for those seeking action-packed interactive experiences.
“It's a visual novel, so it's mostly just clicking and reading, but the choices you make are so wacky, and there are even some moments where the gameplay changes.”
“In typical visual novel fashion, it has several routes, each bringing its own flair and sometimes mechanics. After each of the routes, the final route ties the story together.”
“There are a few instances where the constant text-reading is broken up with a visual or musical joke, with a random mechanic (like QTEs) being thrown in every so often.”
“All in all, if you're looking for action-packed interactive gameplay, this game is not for you.”

The game initially appears to be a lighthearted joke, but reveals a heartfelt core filled with irony and genuine storytelling. Players appreciate the blend of humor and emotional depth, finding it both funny and touching, despite some underlying issues.

“The game at first glance seems like a joke, but if you take the time to appreciate it, then it's actually quite heartfelt, although there is still lots of irony.”
