- “Either way this game is rocking it, I have around 10 hours of gameplay and I have yet to unlock all the endings; that's how much I am enjoying it.”
- “In conclusion, it's very lazily put together and a slog to get through. I've played other free visual novels that have fewer love interests and are shorter, but they have far more choices and outcomes that can completely change the story and gameplay.”

- “It's well-written, the characters (of which there are a lot) are fairly interesting, and the skip feature is implemented in such a way that replaying other routes isn't tedious - and you will have to do that if you want to get more than one ending, since the choices diverge fairly early on.”
- “Playing this game as I did, trying to unlock every ending, was incredibly tedious.”
- “The conversations can get tedious - every incubus has the same/extremely similar dialogue when you kiss them at first, with minor variations to reflect their diverse personalities.”
