The game's story is characterized by a unique and engaging narrative style that initially captivates players but ultimately feels rushed and incomplete, leaving some plot threads unresolved. While it effectively utilizes humor and character complexity, the story becomes bland as it progresses, overshadowed by the gameplay mechanics. Despite these shortcomings, the charming characters and impactful choices provide a sense of purpose, making it a worthwhile experience for players seeking multiple endings.
“It plays on stereotypes which makes characters more complex and unique; the art style is nice and your choices impact the story too.”
“Is a wonderfully entertaining game featuring a cute and charming cast of characters, an interesting combat system, and a story you'll want to play until the very end.”
“The humour is spot on and the story is excellent, not to mention the replay potential and the fact you will find yourself instantly attached to every character you meet.”
“It feels a bit abrupt when it ends, and on top of that, it feels like there was another story that the developers wanted to elaborate on but never seemed to follow up on, unless there's another game they plan to work on and release someday related to this.”
“The writing is funny at first, although the same element seems to be gone as you progress through the game - the story ends up being mediocre while still giving you a sense of purpose.”
“However, it falls short as you progress through the game, forcing you to experience the bland story until the end.”

The graphics are characterized by a unique art style that enhances character complexity and story impact, featuring cute, expressive designs and pixel graphics that provide depth through shadowing.

“It's not in the simple graphics, pastel colors-like cute, but it's more because of their features - their round eyes, expressions, and the like.”
“You'll be presented with a lot of cute-looking enemies with backgrounds that you'll expect from games in pixel graphics.”
“Everything looks realistic in pixel graphic style with some depth from the use of shadows.”
