The game's story is highly praised for its depth and engagement, with many players expressing that they became emotionally invested, often forgetting they were playing a hentai game. It features a rich narrative with multiple quests, character backstories, and a corruption system, allowing for various gameplay styles, including consensual interactions. While some found the story lengthy and occasionally convoluted, the overall consensus is that it offers a compelling and enjoyable experience, enhanced by well-developed characters and an interactive combat system.
“For a moment, I forgot that I was playing an adult game because of how good the story is.”
“The story was also actually really good, and it was possible to go the whole game with almost exclusively consensual interactions if the player wants that.”
“I didn't plan on buying it... but I did, and I played 13 hours without noticing because the backstory of one character was so deep and I got caught in it.”
“And seriously, by the time I reached the end, my brain was smoking, as I was somewhat lost with the story and I forgot previous bits due to the long narrative, gameplay, and small breaks.”
“Decent enough art, but tired tropes with a never-ending boring storyline.”
“Advancing the story feels like a secondary task, as you do it only to unlock more options. (Tip: you have tons of time despite the 'limited day' system; by the end game, you can easily make money via monsters and selling drops or materials, so there's no need to rush.)”

The gameplay is described as compelling and well-executed, featuring solid battle mechanics, a rewarding loot system, and a deep combat system that is easy to learn yet challenging to master. Players can enjoy a wide array of character growth options, including skill trees and resource management, alongside engaging mechanics like corruption and pregnancy.

“The gameplay itself is compelling and well-done.”
“Without the patch, the game is still fun, with solid battle mechanics and a rewarding loot and gathering system.”
“On severe difficulty, it's wonderfully balanced and you really have to learn and understand the mechanics and pull out all the stops to progress.”
“While the game is technically playable without, if you want a relatively bug-free gameplay with NSFW content, you will need to install the patch from the company website.”
“The gameplay can be very difficult depending on your approach.”
“And seriously, by the time I reached the end, my brain was smoking, as I was somewhat lost with the story and I somewhat forgot previous bits due to the long story, gameplay, and small breaks.”

Players note that the game can become quite grindy, particularly when pursuing the true ending, which is described as tedious and potentially missable. However, following the updated in-game guide can help mitigate these issues.
“The true ending is very tedious and you can lock yourself out of it really easily by missing some things, but if you follow the in-game guide that was recently cleaned up via the 1.04 patch, you should be okay.”
“Only con is that it can get a bit grindy at times.”
