The story of the game is praised for its depth and quality, offering more content than the anime adaptation, with an estimated 25 hours to complete the initial narrative. While some extra details from the visual novel are missing and the story lacks the conciseness of the anime, it is still considered beautifully presented and engaging. Additional bonuses like the storyboard art book and cloth poster enhance the overall experience, making it a worthwhile purchase for fans.
