  • Engaging and challenging rhythm gameplay with well-composed songs and fun mechanics.
  • Intriguing story with unique, expressive characters and captivating dark comedy/drama tone.
  • Beautiful art style, quality voice acting, smooth UI, and good accessibility options (e.g., no-fail mode).
  • The story is short and ends abruptly, leaving many players wanting more content and a more developed narrative.
  • Some players find the rhythm game hit detection strict or unfair, with occasional glitches in mechanics like hold notes and ghost notes.
  • The dating sim elements feel underdeveloped, with limited romance depth and a lack of meaningful choices impacting the story.

  • story

    79 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    49% positive mentions, 47% neutral mentions, 4% negative mentions

    The story is generally praised for its intriguing plot, likable and well-developed characters, and dark humor, making it engaging and enjoyable despite its relatively short length of 2-3.5 hours. Many players appreciate how the narrative complements the rhythm gameplay, though some find the ending abrupt and look forward to a sequel for further development. Overall, it offers a compelling and fun experience, especially for fans of story-rich rhythm games.

    • “In short, the story is good, leaves a lot for interpretation and keeps you guessing (even more now that a sequel is yet to come out). The narrative is funny as it cracks a few jokes here and there, and each character has something unique about them.”
    • “The plot of this game had me hooked, the art was perfect, and I am so excited to see what's next in the story.”
    • “Captivating characters and story, super worth taking the time to get through every moment.”
    • “The story gets more fleshed out as you progress, but it isn't enough to be fulfilling.”
    • “There's actually a pretty good plot here let down by pretty major sequel bait and a last minute 'twist' that could and should have been played with more.”
    • “That and you don't really get a complete story, as the game just abruptly ends with only 2 chapters.”

  • music

    71 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    58% positive mentions, 36% neutral mentions, 6% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its catchy, well-composed electronic tracks that complement the characters and story, creating an immersive experience. While most players find the soundtrack impressive and fun to play, a few mention issues with song length, beatmapping, and occasional mismatches in rhythm sections. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a strong highlight, often worth the purchase on its own.

    • “Music hits hard bangers all around; that alone is worth the buy (or just buy the soundtrack at least if you like electronic-style music).”
    • “The music is absolutely stunning and I'm sure everyone can find a track or style they vibe with.”
    • “I really like and am impressed with how much each song fits each character/scenario that's being played out at the moment, which gives everything another layer of immersion.”
    • “The music was just so-so to average.”
    • “However, I am not a fan of the rhythm parts; the songs are bad and hard to keep up with, the beatmapping is off on a few occasions, and some notes feel placed just for the sake of it rather than in time with the song.”
    • “There is nothing really great about this game; it's basic, difficult for the sake of being difficult, the art is bland, and the music sucks.”

  • gameplay

    The gameplay primarily centers on rhythm mechanics that are responsive, challenging, and enjoyable, with options catering to varying skill levels. While the rhythm segments and story integration are praised, some find the overall gameplay short, occasionally tedious, and somewhat limited in depth. Despite minor pacing and content concerns, the game offers a fun and fresh experience, especially for fans of rhythm games and visual novels.

    • “The rhythm gameplay is challenging enough while having plenty of options for those who are more in it for the story.”
    • “I am a bit sad that there's only this much content for what was worked on for 5 years but overall, ignoring the wait time, I can happily say the game came out great. I love a lot of the songs and the difficulty is quite nice (insane) and reaches a comfortably hard gameplay level if you want.”
    • “Played the demo many years ago, been waiting for this game for a while :) Not disappointed, the music and gameplay is done very well.”
    • “The game felt too short due to its pacing and tedious main game mechanic.”
    • “The rhythm gameplay is basic and too difficult even on easy.”
    • “The dialogues are terrible, the story is bland, and the gameplay is abysmal.”

  • humor

    The humor in the game is a blend of genuinely funny moments and quirky character traits that add uniqueness and levity to the narrative. While not consistently immersive, the comedic elements, including unexpected jokes and exaggerated tropes, provide entertaining and memorable highlights throughout the story.

    • “It had funny moments, and genuinely scary moments, and I love the direction it is going.”
    • “In short, the story is good, leaves a lot for interpretation and keeps you guessing (even more now that a sequel is yet to come out). The narrative is funny as it cracks a few jokes here and there, and each character has something unique about them.”
    • “(Spoilers) I don't know if it's just me, but Jenny being such a tropey tsundere and then revealing her past with lines like 'The old man was mean to me and then I stopped being trusting, girls beat me into the dirt and then I killed people... everyone is scum...' is so funny.”

    The graphics are praised for their unique, charming, and beautiful art style, which complements the game's engaging story. Users found the visual design appealing and appreciated the quality of the limited voice acting.

    • “The art style is both cute and charming and the voice acting for the little bit we got was on point.”
