The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its emotional depth and unique multiple endings, which often evoke strong feelings, including sadness and attachment to the characters. However, some critiques highlight issues such as a short narrative length, illogical plot points, and problematic themes, including hints of inappropriate relationships.

“I loved the story and it was a great experience even though it didn't last long because I finished it in 2 hours.”
“The story is great and the multiple endings are good and unique.”
“The girl's story really touched my heart and, to be honest, some of the endings had me crying non-stop.”
“The story feels short and rushed.”
“The choice are limited, means if you choose a wrong option you will die or the story will end and ask you choose again the different option, and the story is disgusting.”
“The main story is decent, but the prequel doesn't match with the main story (no one dies in the prequel but in the main story their whole family is dead), the options makes you go for one and only one path (except for the extra finals after the 'true ending') and the options that you have to choose and the endings of some of them are way too... random, like, why the heck they make you choose between 2 drinks, and one of those drinks leads you directly to the ending where the plane falls... wha-”

The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized due to an overwhelming number of ads that frequently interrupt gameplay, often covering significant portions of the screen.

A common workaround suggested by users is to play offline to avoid ads altogether.
“No ads at all ;)”
“I had no ads throughout the entire game.”
“I experienced no ads during the entire game.”
“The amount of ads in this game is atrocious; you can barely go 30 seconds without seeing an ad.”
“You spend more time watching ads than playing the game, and the game itself just consists of reading a short paragraph, then making a choice.”
“The number of ads makes the game very unenjoyable.”

Overall, the gameplay is engaging and complemented by a captivating story, though some players noted a lack of animations and visuals that could enhance the experience. While the horror elements are effective, there are calls for more lore and gameplay depth, with some finding the mechanics quirky and unconventional. Despite some narrative inconsistencies, the gameplay remains enjoyable for many, particularly those drawn to unique and bizarre experiences.
“I liked the overall gameplay; the story was nice, and I loved getting all the achievements. The story was really captivating. The only issue I had was the lack of animations or images of particular scenarios. I wish there were more drawings or images of the scenes happening. Other than that, I liked everything about this game.”
“The gameplay is good, though. This game is not what I had in mind; it's basically the weirdest game I have ever played. You, as the character, will have to try and protect the child while the child will kill you for any minor inconveniences. This game is basically different ways to die.”
“The gameplay could be better, but in terms of horror story, it does have the creep factor.”
“They could have added a bit more lore and more gameplay.”
“The game is really good, but there was a big nonsense at the end. How did the main character get on an airplane if he was wanted and kidnapped? This gigantic nonsense made the gameplay bad.”
