The game's story is described as funny and unconventional, featuring quirky elements that engage players and encourage further exploration. While the storytelling and character development are praised, some users feel the narrative is too short, especially in its early access phase, and express a desire for more content and interactive elements. Overall, the characters are well-loved, and the side quests add to the enjoyment, though some mechanics could be improved for better progression.
“The story is pretty funny, unconventional, and pretty weird in some cases, with the cow for example, but it makes me want to see more stuff eventually, so that's good.”
“Very good storytelling game.”
“Love the characters and story.”
“There's no reason to press 'make love' because there's no progression after you finish their storyline aside from just to jerk off.”
“The plot was nothing new but done right.”
“Dating at some location like a hot spring date with girls is not just a story scene with a specific character.”

Players find the grinding in the game to be quite tedious, particularly when it comes to gathering materials for tool upgrades, with some suggesting a significant reduction in required resources could enhance enjoyment. While the grind can be time-consuming, especially for those unfamiliar with the game, many still find the overall experience enjoyable, especially when pursuing in-game relationships.
“Without cheat, this game is a bit grindy if you don't know what you're doing.”
“The grind is pretty tedious in the materials department, especially for an ore to upgrade your tools. It could be like maybe 50% less for needed materials; I could see myself enjoying this more.”
“The grind is tedious, and until you can get the girl, it takes over 2 hours, so the chance of a refund is kind of low.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with users finding the teasing mechanics, referred to as "training," to be odd and not particularly engaging. However, many players are drawn to the game primarily for its attractive character designs, which seem to overshadow the lackluster gameplay experience.
“Teasing gameplay (labelled as training inside the game) is kinda weird, though.”
“I know the gameplay is going to be pretty bad, but who cares when you have all these girls to go after.”
