  • The graphics and writing quality are often criticized as mediocre, typical of many RPG Maker games.
  • story
    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story receives mixed reviews, with some praising its interesting plot, enjoyable characters, and unique good/evil paths that encourage replayability. However, many criticize the poor translation and limited daily activities, which detract from the overall narrative experience. While some find the storyline engaging with plot twists, others feel it lacks depth and effort, making it less appealing for those seeking a more substantial narrative.

    • “Interesting story, enjoyable characters, and a fun good/evil path with many unique endings that encourages multiple playthroughs.”
    • “Good storyline and it's twisted.. (compliment to story writer)”
    • “The storyline had a great plot twist, and although the fighting was pretty basic, it was still good.”
    • “Absolutely terrible translation which makes often no sense at all, thus you have no idea what the actual plot is.”
    • “The story is terrible and feels like a minimum effort tale.”
    • “If you are an adult, or you want decent gameplay, a decent story or even some decent jokes, look somewhere else.”
  • humor
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag; while many players find it genuinely funny and entertaining, others feel that the writing can be awkward and the humor sometimes forced. Overall, it offers a unique style and pacing that contributes to its comedic appeal, making it enjoyable without becoming tedious.

    • “This game can get genuinely funny most of the time!”
    • “It was entertaining and pretty funny, and you could play the game at your pace since 'going to sleep' was how you moved forward in the game - it's up to you how long you stay awake each day and all the stuff you do!”
    • “Great game, very funny and doesn't get boring with grinding.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are characterized by retro pixel art typical of RPG Maker titles, which some players find lacking due to fixed resolution and overall quality. While the art style shows effort, it may not appeal to everyone, particularly those who prefer more polished visuals. Fans of punk aesthetics and demon themes might appreciate the visuals more than others.

    • “Like all RPG Maker games, we have terrible retro pixel 2D graphics, fixed resolution, but fullscreen does 'work'.”
    • “The art style and effort is there, but this game is way too random and stupid for my liking. If I want a random, pointless game, then EarthBound or similar games like that work... this is just another RPG Maker mess.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for being overly complex and centered around poorly translated text and dialogue, detracting from the overall fun and engagement. Reviewers suggest that those seeking quality gameplay, story, or humor should consider other options.

    • “This game's gameplay centers around text and dialogue, which very obviously and transparently wasn't originally written in English, and the translation was obviously half-assed at best.”
    • “If you are an adult, or you want decent gameplay, a decent story, or even some decent jokes, look somewhere else.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game enjoyable and engaging, noting that it adds to the overall fun without becoming tedious. The combination of slice-of-life storytelling and RPG mechanics keeps the experience fresh and entertaining.

    • “This is a slice of life visual novel with activity hubs and skill grinding crammed in a RPG Maker shell.”
    • “Grinding is actually fun.”
    • “Great game, very funny and doesn't get boring with grinding.”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players highlight the game's strong replayability due to its multiple endings and non-linear paths, allowing for varied experiences with each playthrough. This aspect is consistently praised, making it a significant draw for returning players.

    • “There is no one path it can end, and that's a good thing here, giving you great replay value.”
    • “Great replay value!”
    • “There is no one path it can end, and that's a good thing here, giving you great replay value.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
