The game's story is generally seen as interesting and engaging, with a charming aesthetic and immersive details, but many reviewers feel it falls short in depth and execution, particularly towards the end where it becomes rushed. While some appreciate the variety of endings and twists, others criticize the lack of character development and unresolved plot elements. Overall, the narrative is enjoyable but leaves room for improvement, with ratings ranging from 5/10 to 7/10.
- “The story still had us captured by it and was an enjoyable experience outside of the issues we had with getting 3 of the endings.”
- “Enthralling story and charming characters.”
- “Super interesting story, got me hooked in the demo!”
- “The story was short and sweet, but there were a lot of elements that seemed to fall short of what it could have been.”
- “However, in my opinion, the game doesn't really use its entire potential: it has great production and concept, but the execution is rather lacking in terms of story depth and the resulting length. Once the mystery starts getting revealed, the rest of the game becomes quite rushed, and plenty of important background information doesn't even get addressed.”

- “I also believe that there could've been more variety in the gameplay, such as being able to use more digital functions.”
