The gameplay is described as solid and enjoyable, particularly after applying a patch that introduces new mechanics affecting character development and story progression. However, some users find it barebones and awkward, with slow progression due to a reliance on farming weak enemies rather than traditional grinding. Overall, while there are mixed feelings about the depth and variety, many appreciate the unique mechanics and solid combat.
“So gameplay, absolutely great for what it is.”
“Changes drastically with the patch applied as new mechanics are featured that alter the experience greatly; a small example is with the character herself, Anna, as actions experienced in combat will affect her for the rest of the game and alter entire sequences that occur later.”
“Good art, patch easily available from their website, surprisingly solid gameplay mechanics and story.”
“-barebones gameplay”
“I know it's an eroge, but everything about the gameplay is frustrating and poorly designed. Everything revolves around money, and you have to farm weak enemies because you can't just grind levels, which makes progress painfully slow.”
“Changes drastically with the patch applied, as new mechanics are featured that alter the experience greatly. For example, actions experienced in combat will affect the character Anna for the rest of the game and alter entire sequences that occur later.”

Players express frustration with the grinding mechanics, noting that while the game claims "no grinding required," certain actions like farming money can lead to negative outcomes, such as missing out on good endings. Experience points cannot be gained through combat, making battles feel limited and often random, which detracts from the overall gameplay experience.
“One time you'll attack first, the other you'll be one-shotted. There's no possibility of level grinding, making fights almost useless. You can die randomly in various places, and sometimes you won't die at all.”
“Limited but balanced battles, where farming experience is impossible. You can only gain experience by doing certain things, not from killing any enemies.”
“Prostitution and similar activities do provide money; however, you will be locked out from the good ending (achievements) unless you are intentionally farming money. This leads to a bad ending and a new game plus with money and stats.”

“The graphics are okay and the scenes are well done.”
“Besides the game being short, it has an interesting story and good artwork, so I would recommend it when it's on sale.”
“This is not handled well at all; there are much better ways to get scenes flowing. This lewd RPG doesn't quite fit the mark.”
“The graphics are okay, but the scenes could be better executed.”
“The artwork is pretty, but it doesn't compensate for the lack of fluidity in the scenes.”
