The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many praising its engaging narrative and emotional depth, while others criticize its linearity and the illusion of choice, where player decisions often lead to predetermined outcomes. Some players found the character development and world-building lacking, leading to a sense of frustration, especially when trying to achieve all endings. Overall, while the story is appreciated for its unique themes and atmosphere, it is often seen as falling short in execution, leaving players wanting more meaningful choices and deeper exploration of its concepts.
- “The story unfolds in a way that generally remains engaging, with characters that are varied and interesting.”
- “An experience focused on emotions, with a well-developed story.”
- “Equally parts beautiful and horrifying, it is a story not afraid to mix elements of eroticism and dread to create a unique, dark, and memorable experience.”
- “The game gives you the illusion of choice (spoiler: there is no choice, your decisions don't matter unless you want to get a game over and not progress with the story). The world-building is terrible - there's no explanation for anything or backstory to provide reason for a specific character's actions.”
- “There's just so many storylines that feel like they go nowhere, and when a storyline is explored later, it feels shallow and underwhelming.”
- “You know immediately that nothing you're doing matters, and it doesn't really seem to be to fulfill an artistic decision either; it's just a consequence of fairly lazy plot development.”

- “I don't think that either the fetish is explored enough for it to have any real meaning to the story, or the characters are engaging enough to root for, so I just felt like I was playing to hear more of the soundtrack at that stage.”
- “Does a lofi, sensual drum and bass song fit a scene where a giant lady eats a person alive?”
- “Solid visuals, solid music, very unlikeable cast of characters in general.”

- “The horror or tension in which the game is dressed is aesthetic only, and while that aesthetic is compelling, it doesn't fully mask the limp in the honestly awful writing.”
- “A series of aesthetically pleasing, but self-contained little doodads that attract your attention but unify into nothing larger and make you wonder what the point was.”

The gameplay in this visual novel is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating the tension and engagement brought by real-time decision-making and unique mechanics, while others criticize its linearity and simplicity, noting that choices often feel superficial and lead to predetermined outcomes. Despite its short length and minimal gameplay depth, the game is praised for its strong writing and emotional impact, making it a worthwhile experience for fans of the genre. Overall, while the mechanics may not be groundbreaking, they effectively support the narrative and thematic elements of the game.
- “You can tell it was made with actual care and passion for the material, and the devs managed to find a way to make visual novel gameplay more tense and focused, switching between traditional reading segments to more tense scenes where you actually have to respond correctly and in real-time, under threat of swift and violent death.”
- “It's one of the best depictions of conversation gameplay I have ever seen implemented into a game, and I feel like other developers should look at how the dialogue system here works to help innovate game design.”
- “Interesting visual novel; I like the game mechanics they involve to drive the psychological horror home.”
- “At $15 for about 4 hours of gameplay on your first time through (if you are going slow and trying to do some of the side content/exploring other choices), I can see why some people won't immediately want to pick this game up over other options.”
- “The mechanics are shallow, the story is really short, and your choices don't really matter that much.”
- “Also, don't expect anything from the gameplay; in fact, there is barely any gameplay.”
