The game's story is engaging and personal, offering a compelling narrative despite its brevity. However, the limited world-building and lack of depth in character interactions detract from the overall experience, leaving players wanting more. While the story is praised, the abrupt ending and slow combat may hinder enjoyment for some.
“If you're looking to spend a bit of time with a short RPG Maker-engine game that's engaging enough in its rather personal story, then give it a try.”
“The story is actually great.”
“Right in the middle of a good storyline, poof, done.”
“The biggest point to it is its short story that is wrapped in a pretty easy to play game.”
“It's a short game, so it's a missed opportunity to expound on some of the story elements through world-building via the city's NPCs.”
“The story feels underdeveloped and lacks depth, leaving many plot points unexplored.”

The monetization strategy of the game is criticized as a cash grab, with reviewers labeling it a generic asset flip that lacks originality and quality. The use of multiple Steam accounts by the developer is seen as an attempt to mislead gamers, further undermining trust in the product.
“This is another painfully generic, minimum viable product cash grab/asset flip from Andorlea/Warfare/Falling Star Studio. Why does this guy need three different Steam accounts to publish the same RPG Maker asset flips? Oh yeah, to mislead gamers.”

The graphics in this RPG Maker game are criticized for their low quality, particularly in fullscreen mode, and the lack of full HD support or graphics customization options makes it unsuitable for modern PC gamers.
“As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”

The gameplay is criticized for being subpar, with many reviewers noting that it suffers from low-quality mechanics typical of RPG Maker shovelware, alongside poorly executed retro pixel art that detracts from the overall experience.
“Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low-quality, copy-pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”
