The humor in the game is noted to be somewhat unintentional, with players finding certain scenes, particularly the uncensored sex scene featuring Yuka, amusing rather than erotic. This suggests that while the game aims for a sexy tone, it often veers into comedic territory, especially for those familiar with similar content.
