The gameplay is generally described as fun and rewarding, featuring puzzles that can be easily skipped, which may lead to a repetitive experience. While some players appreciate the improved mechanics and quality art, others find the gameplay lacking compared to similar titles, with mixed feelings about the challenge and overall engagement. The game is best suited for those seeking achievements rather than deep gameplay or substantial adult content.

“If you like h-games with a bit more gameplay, not only is the art nice but the game itself is a very fun puzzle game!”
“This one actually has good puzzle mechanics, much better gameplay than the previous entries.”

The graphics in the game are generally well-received, with a consistent art style that enhances the overall experience. While the character artwork is praised for its quality, some users note that the level graphics could be improved and that the animations feel less fluid compared to previous installments. Overall, the visuals maintain a good standard, but there are areas where they fall short of expectations.
“Throughout the whole game, the same art style is maintained, which is a definite plus.”
“Nothing can compare to the wholesome visuals that make you feel like you're inside the game.”
“This seek girl is far different than the others, but the artwork remains good, as is known for the series.”
“The level graphics could be better though.”
“Seek Girl V feels like a downgrade from Seek Girl IV; although the artwork is still high quality, the animation is noticeably rigid.”

The story aspect of the game is largely criticized for being minimal and unengaging, with users noting that the narrative is overshadowed by mediocre puzzles and a lack of depth. The only notable content seems to be the h-content, which is also deemed unappealing. Overall, the story fails to provide a compelling experience.
“Different mini game this time, pixel graphics puzzle and somewhat of a story with the animated art.”
“The puzzles are just mediocre and not even interesting in any way; the 'secret' dungeon is nothing more than 3-4 more levels with a non-existing story. The only selling point is the h-content, which is not very appealing (2 animations with the patch).”

The music in the game received mixed feedback; while some players enjoyed it and appreciated the nostalgic elements from previous titles, others noted that it felt recycled and that they initially experienced issues with sound. Overall, the soundtrack and voice acting added to the experience, but the reliance on older assets left some wanting more originality.
“I liked the music, the puzzles (which some had me stumped), and the characters you unlocked during the events of the game.”
“The soundtrack is a fantastic blend of themes that really enhances the overall experience.”
“The music perfectly complements the gameplay, creating an immersive atmosphere that keeps you engaged.”
“Most assets are from their older games, and the soundtrack is just a mixtape from the prequels.”
“Mine started with no sound, so I finished the whole game before I realized there was voice acting and music too.”
