    The story is generally well-received, featuring a branching choice-based system that effectively presents its characters and setting, though many choices feel inconsequential. While the narrative starts strong with imaginative world-building and cultural references, it ultimately loses momentum towards the end, which is a significant drawback for a visual novel.

    • “Beautiful artwork, a funny and moving story, and unique and interesting world-building.”
    • “The only game element is your ability to choose between 1-3 options whenever the story chooses to deviate into paths.”
    • “Most of these paths are completely inconsequential; some will simply raise or lower a resource bar, and few will impact the story.”
    • “That being said, for a visual novel, the storyline is the backbone of the work, and the story lost its way in the end - and that is bad.”
