The story is a mixed bag, with some players finding it intriguing as it follows the protagonist Sumire's transformation into a succubus and her quest to return home, while others criticize it for being shallow and lacking depth. Despite a decent premise, many reviews highlight a lack of substantial gameplay and character development, leading to a perception of laziness in execution. Overall, the narrative is seen as a blend of interesting concepts overshadowed by poor storytelling and minimal engagement.
“The story is interesting enough, and there's a good number of events of a quality level where you can spend a decent amount of time enjoying them all.”
“The plot is decent and focuses on the main character's efforts to go back to her work by becoming a succubus powerful enough to send herself back to her world or getting enough money to buy a potion that lets her do so.”
“Developed by the doujin circle Nakayoshi Honpo, this title is the studio's first venture into the RPG genre, and it offers an intriguing storyline that revolves around the transformation of the protagonist into a succubus.”
“It's like they were going to make another Melty's Quest but got incredibly lazy.”
“There's barely any gameplay, the story is almost nonexistent and the characters are as lovable as a grown-in toenail.”
“If you're wanting to 'rush' the game, since there's essentially no story to it, just work at the bar and spam the Z/Enter key repeatedly for about 30-45 minutes and you'll get the option of both endings.”

“Gameplay-wise, it's similar to 'Noelle Does Her Best' since you spend most of the time hunting for h-events.”

“Game mechanics are optional and have, if any, just a small visual impact; it's literally just a gallery with RPG Maker wrapping.”
