Interesting and dark visuals with a unique WW1 setting featuring rats and mice.
Music is appreciated and enhances the atmosphere.
Choice outcomes affect the story, adding some replay value.

Very short game length, feeling more like a demo than a full visual novel.
English translation and dialogue quality are poor and sometimes clichéd.
Lack of interface features like text skip and multiple save slots make replaying slow and frustrating.

The story is noted to be somewhat confusing due to it comprising two separate narratives rather than sequential chapters, which can feel disconnected without prior knowledge. While the narrative itself is appreciated for its quality, pacing issues—such as slow text display and inconsistent visual details—somewhat detract from the overall experience.
- “That actually makes things a bit easier to understand. I was wondering why the story seemed so disconnected; it's because there are two different ones.”
- “Awesome game, I love the music and the artwork is great, exactly like the story. Please add a text skip button because the text writes itself too slowly; I would prefer to see the full text and read it at my own pace. That's the only problem; the rest is super awesome.”
- “If you don't know that before going in, then the story seems incredibly disconnected and weird.”
- “That actually makes things a bit easier to understand; I was wondering why the story seemed so disconnected. It's because there are two different ones.”
- “"I died in the first chapter, why do I get to see the second chapter?" It's a second story, not a chapter apparently.”

The graphics are generally praised for their appealing and fitting visuals, with artwork complementing the story well. However, some users note inconsistencies in visual details, such as changing tank models mid-scene. Overall, the visuals are appreciated but not without minor flaws.
- “The visuals look good.”
- “Awesome game, I love the music and the artwork is great, exactly like the story.”
- “I only really like the visuals.”
- “One complaint I have about the visuals is in the first story you read through, where you're in a tank with the driver. Initially, they show a medium-sized tank that runs on coal, and you can clearly see it. However, a few moments later in a different scene, your tank suddenly turns into a very small WW1 FT17 French tank, and the coal-powered engine that was visible before is now gone.”
- “Aside from the visuals, there isn't a lot to praise for me.”
- “Graphics rating: 5”
