The game's story is set in a cyberpunk-inspired world and features a unique storytelling format that involves typing responses to progress, which some players find immersive. However, many reviews highlight significant issues with localization and translation, making the narrative difficult to follow and understand. Despite these challenges, the story is praised for its character development, emotional depth, and engaging themes, though it may not resonate with everyone due to its complex structure and pacing.
- “Absolutely loved this game :3 it gave me major Emily is Away vibes when I first saw it, but the story is very much its own.”
- “At its core, the game tells a heartfelt story about modern identity, human connection, and the struggles of work-life balance.”
- “Incredible game with an amazing story.”
- “The translation/localization is just so lacking; some text isn't even translated, like [spoiler]nil's text at the end of the true ending minigame[/spoiler], and some text is just translated weirdly, making the story harder to follow.”
- “Regrettably, despite the uniqueness and some great ideas of how to tackle the story’s themes, it suffers from atrocious localization, and the short runtime makes it hard to appreciate the characters the player gets to interact with.”
- “You can piece together bits of the story, but overall, it’s very difficult to understand.”

The gameplay of the game is noted for its originality within the visual novel genre, featuring unique mechanics like typing and managing multiple chat interactions, which create an engaging and immersive experience. While the visuals and music are praised, some players feel that the story lacks depth and that certain gameplay elements could be expanded for a more fulfilling experience. Overall, the gameplay is enjoyable and innovative, though it has some localization issues and could benefit from additional content and character interactions.
- “The gameplay is original for a visual novel and very enjoyable.”
- “The typing as gameplay idea is weirdly fun and very unique, and the choices actually matter in subtle ways.”
- “Very fun and engaging gameplay, with a captivating story to tell.”
- “Characters are introduced and handled within perhaps half an hour of gameplay, which simply is not enough time to explore the different dilemmas fully or to develop actual relationships, despite S4U also featuring instances of romance or other opportunities to develop Miki.”
- “During gameplay, you can only have 2 locations which are the PC and the apartment park. I think it was nice at first, but as the game progresses, it feels very tiresome and boring. During certain interactions, like at the cafe or food shop, it would be nice if we could visit those locations and have friendly dialogues to learn more about the world and the NPCs. The fact that during the final day you unlock one more location, which is where the MC's company is, only once is terrible. I think this scene could be better if during workdays I could interact with other coworkers.”
- “Romance is by far my personal second favorite thing during gameplay, but it also feels like a somewhat wasted potential. I love that there are a variety of romance partner options, but as the days go by, the interactions with these characters feel lacking, as if I didn't earn it enough. It would be nice if during the evenings I could invite those characters to certain places and build up the romance aspect.”
