The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing it for lacking originality and depth, particularly in its use of Lovecraftian elements and humor. However, others found the writing engaging and the world-building immersive, noting that the narrative is absorbing and filled with side quests that enhance replayability. Overall, while some aspects may feel derivative, many players appreciate the humor and the entertaining storytelling.
- “The writing is well done, the story development is amazing so far.”
- “Not to mention, the story is quite absorbing -- after playing for a while it became hard to stop -- despite the fact that the game certainly does not take itself too seriously, it's difficult not to get wrapped up in the world building and story arc.”
- “All in all, this is a funny, absorbing game -- despite what seem like budgetary issues with the voice cast not returning, I would very much recommend this game to anyone who likes an engaging parody story.”
- “On the matter of plot and substance, this has little to none.”
- “The favorite subject of all amateur developers, the corpse of H.P. Lovecraft has once more been exhumed so that a craptastic ripoff of his works could be created. Much like amateur developers typically lack the capability to come up with their own game designs and quality assets, they're also usually unable to come up with original plot ideas, and this trash heap is no exception.”
- “The humor is way less inspired; the use of 'Cthulhu mythos' elements felt irrelevant as the art and story status of the beings are way less connected to their original counterparts than in the first one. The dialogue options felt more random and even more like a game of Trivial Pursuit than something related to the story or characters.”

The humor in the game is a mixed bag; while many players appreciate its clever writing, snarky protagonist, and rapid-fire jokes reminiscent of parodies like Police Squad, others feel that the humor lacks inspiration and coherence, particularly in its use of Cthulhu mythos elements. Some find the dense humor charming, while others believe it can be overwhelming or disconnected from the story. Overall, the game is generally regarded as funny and engaging, appealing to fans of parody and nerd culture.
- “The good: excellent sense of humor, clever characters, great writing.”
- “I think one of the things that it really has going for it is its sense of humor; be it the snarky wit of the main protagonist, the wacky array of supporting characters, or just the self-aware exposition, this is an objectively funny game.”
- “All in all, this is a funny, absorbing game -- despite what seem like budgetary issues with the voice cast not returning, I would very much recommend this game to anyone who likes an engaging parody story.”

The music in the game has received positive feedback, with many users noting improvements in quality and overall enjoyment. However, some players suggested that incorporating unique musical themes or visual indicators for each character could enhance the experience further.
- “The music is better, the art is better, and the jokes are better.”
- “Something such as a logo for each character next to their name, a change in font color for each character, or a musical theme (when applicable) associated with each character to indicate when they are speaking would have been helpful.”

The gameplay of this visual/interactive novel is criticized for lacking substance, primarily consisting of clicking through poorly written dialogue that fails to engage players meaningfully. Many reviewers question how such low-quality writing was allowed on the platform.
- “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, 'how did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Users find the grinding aspect of visual novels and e-books to be tedious, likening the experience to a frustratingly slow reading process where players must click to progress through text, detracting from the enjoyment of the narrative. This repetitive clicking can make engaging with the story feel laborious rather than immersive.
- “Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you want to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”
graphics
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The graphics have been criticized for their low-quality, resembling amateur MS Paint artwork, which detracts from the overall visual experience. Despite this, some players express a willingness to overlook these shortcomings over time.
- “I could've even eventually gotten used to the occasional crappy MS Paint artwork.”
emotional
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Many users feel that the lack of voice acting detracts from the emotional engagement of the game, making it feel more like an interactive book rather than an immersive video game experience. This absence of vocal performance limits the emotional connection players can form with the characters and story.
