    The story is praised for its unique, surreal, and thought-provoking narrative enriched with strong religious and philosophical themes, often evoking deep emotions through poetic dialogue and atmosphere. While some find it confusing or overly artsy with a lack of coherence, many appreciate the layered storytelling, memorable characters, and the emotional intensity, especially when combined with the game's art and voice acting.

    • “The writing is hauntingly beautiful; I found myself fascinated by the story and uncovering how these angels ended up in the slums.”
    • “Back to the storyline, the game starts off very confusing, and it took me a few replays to get all the endings, especially the true ending. The time I spent replaying only made me love the game even more.”
    • “I adore every single character, but if I had to choose a route, I'd say Salxire, mainly because of her backstory with Ezekiel; the CGs were stunning, and I especially love how their bond is developed and how beautifully poetic their dialogues are.”
    • “Way too artsy for its own good, to the point that it forgets to actually tell a coherent story.”
    • “Back to the storyline, the game starts off very confusing, and it took me a few replays to get all the endings, especially the true ending, since it takes a while to understand what to do if you miss it the first time.”
    • “I don't really care for any of the characters and I don't understand the entire story of the slums or angels (if there's even one).”

    Gameplay is praised for its engaging and refreshing mechanics that enhance the horror atmosphere and story, with intentional interactivity and thematic depth. However, some find the mechanic of game restarts upon failing interactions frustrating, though it reinforces the game's chaotic tone. Overall, the gameplay effectively supports the narrative, despite certain standard visual novel elements and repetitive interactions.

    • “The mechanics of this have truly caught me off-guard and, not to mention, refreshed me on how much fun these games could get!”
    • “I love the intentional interactive mechanics; I am still trying ohhh so hard to get that 100% completion.”
    • “What seems at first to be a simple quality-of-life mechanic (preventing the player from having to replay scenes multiple times to get all the correct answers) turns out to be a way of reinforcing the game's atmosphere and theming: Ezekiel will say anything to have these girls fall in love with her, but does she even have any choice in the matter?”
    • “The gameplay is pretty standard for a visual novel, especially a short indie one.”
    • “The gameplay wasn't too enjoyable; if you fail a character interaction it closes your game which was original once or twice but got old fast.”
    • “The only real problem I have with this mechanic is that the way it restarts is by simulating the game crashing to desktop and then restarting on the title screen (this is what the "continue" button is for--the game doesn't let you load saves from the main menu).”
