The story is set in a dystopian world where players take on the role of a director at an asylum for reformed supervillains, featuring a diverse cast of likable characters with unique arcs. While the narrative has engaging elements and multiple branching routes that enhance replayability, it often prioritizes plot over deeper storytelling, which some reviewers feel detracts from its potential. Overall, it combines mature themes with humor and choice-driven progression, making it a noteworthy entry in the visual novel genre.
- “The story is engaging because of its intriguing setting in which the pristine image of Justopia contrasts with how dystopic it is, and because the characters are so likable that they quickly grow on you.”
- “The contrast between the idealistic heroes and the morally complex villains adds depth to the story.”
- “Each heroine—whether it’s Night Charger with her conflicted sense of justice, Bad Lotion’s defiance and eventual submission, or Madam Venom’s commanding transformation—brings unique personality and depth to the story.”
- “The story has the same issue other nukige have in that it quickly focuses a lot on the plot and leaves the actual story in the background, which is a pity because it has the potential to be more than a sex-fest.”

- “The story revolves around the rehabilitation of some S-rank villains at the asylum, a facility dedicated to turning these 'filthy scumbags' into something useful.”
