The story has received mixed reviews, with some players intrigued by its themes of science versus magic and family dynamics, while others found it hard to engage with and felt it lacked depth and resolution. Although the immersive elements like voice acting and scene transitions were praised, many felt the plot did not reach its full potential, leaving them indifferent to the characters and overall experience. Overall, while some appreciated the reflective nature of the narrative, others deemed it boring and lacking in substance.
“The tone of the story is very real and I feel it.”
“On one hand, I was intrigued by the story - the girl who grew up in a magical family choosing science over magic, and the nature of the family dynamic - and the concept of taking pictures of the past was intriguing.”
“For its first visual novel on Steam, Studio Madeleine Chai has really come out with a wonderful story and I look forward to any future works.”
“Just like no proper writing or game development happened with this e-book trashware, there's nothing in the way of plot that has any value, either.”
“I felt it had a lot left in the air and I was hoping that it wouldn't have unsolved storylines, but it did.”
“This is a nice visual novel if you're looking for some more perfect games in your library, but the plot was just too boring.”
