The story in this visual novel is generally considered weak and simplistic, often serving as a mere backdrop for adult content rather than a compelling narrative. While some players appreciate the light-hearted, comedic elements and character diversity, many find the plot unremarkable, with shallow character development and a lack of meaningful conflict. Overall, it appeals more to those seeking erotic content than a deep or engaging storyline.
“With its charming characters, engaging storylines, and adorable artwork, it offers a truly immersive and enjoyable experience.”
“The game's captivating narrative and well-crafted choices allow you to shape the course of the story and deepen your relationships with the lovable cast of characters.”
“The writing in the story is really well done, and the premise of the story always kept me going, wondering what else I would find out about some of the characters' pasts and to learn more about their personalities.”
“The plot beyond the setup is also pretty awful, and every character including the protagonist is exceedingly annoying.”
“The game's storyline is unremarkable, even boring at times, and doesn't withstand scrutiny.”
“If you are looking for a story, look elsewhere.”

The humor in the game is generally well-received, with many players finding it funny and engaging, particularly in the character interactions and comedic writing. However, there are notable criticisms regarding moments where the humor feels out of place or falls flat, leading to mixed reactions about certain jokes and character quirks. Overall, while the humor contributes positively to the experience, it can be inconsistent, with some players loving it and others finding it annoying or unfunny.
“That being said, while there is little merit in the characters when it comes to arcs, they are still likable, fun, and hilarious, which is a must in stories that aren't heavily plot-driven.”
“I highly recommend this visual novel for what it is; it's very funny and has a lot of spicy moments with the characters.”
“The comedy within the writing always had me chuckling softly and smiling quite often, and when it was at some sad moments due to the characters' development and writing, I felt bad when we experienced some of the dark times within the visual novel.”
“In short: expensive, boring, not funny.”
“Especially with that additional two creatures, the seal whale and the black furball who are supposed to be funny, but I end up hating them when they speak.”
“It's just a bunch of unfunny character quirks.”

The music in the game has received widespread praise for its quality and ability to enhance the storytelling experience, fitting well with various scenes and moods. While some players noted that certain tracks replayed too frequently, the overall sentiment is that the soundtrack is enjoyable, catchy, and complements the game's art and narrative effectively. Many reviewers also highlighted the memorable themes and the high production quality of the music, making it a standout aspect of the game.
“The music was done well; it always seemed to fit the situation of what was going on and was also a good fit for the backgrounds of where the story was taking place. Although at times a song would replay a bit too much, it did not bother me because I enjoyed every song within the game. The composers have done a great job with the music.”
“That combined with some of the most memorable music I've ever heard in a visual novel, it just captures that summer holiday resort feel really well!”
“The music is catchy, the art is good, and the writing is hilarious.”
“I think the easiest way to review this game is to just compare it to Nekopara; same publisher, same music basically, same exact art style.”
“The music was done well; it always seemed to fit the situation of what was going on and was also a good fit for the backgrounds of where the story was taking place, although at times a song would replay a bit too much.”
“And if the player decides to buy the soundtrack, they'll have to buy the 18+ patch to go along with it; being a downside from what's offered on the Steam page.”

The graphics of the game are highly praised for their exceptional artwork and character design, with many reviewers noting the charming and cute aesthetic reminiscent of the "Nekopara" series.

Overall, the game's graphics contribute significantly to its appeal, making it a standout in the visual novel genre.
“The artwork/design: the artist who designed and drew the backgrounds and/or characters did an amazing job; as you can tell, they put their heart and soul into making this feel as real as it can be, for when you got immersed within the visual novel's story, and the emotions the characters had with their facial expressions were also done well.”
“The same artist who made the characters in nekopara and tropical liquor, Sayori, once again pulls off the aesthetics of the characters; giving them her trademark style of art and making them stunningly attractive.”
“The characters are very well done, the graphics are extremely well done.”
“If the art direction, music, and character art style are familiar to you, it's because it is.”
“I think the easiest way to review this game is to just compare it to Nekopara; same publisher, same music basically, same exact art style.”

The emotional aspect of the game is polarizing, with some players finding it lacking due to a simplistic and self-indulgent narrative that detracts from emotional investment. However, others appreciate the wholesome moments and character interactions, particularly in certain routes that evoke genuine feelings and laughter. Overall, while the game has its share of exploitative elements, it also offers heartfelt scenes that resonate with players who enjoy a mix of humor and emotional depth.
“The game's fan disk as DLC release is both convenient for players, and its rich content with the length of this comparable not only makes up for the original game in the emotional line and the lack of plot but also further increases the fun of the game for players.”
“I think anyone who enjoys wholesome/non-wholesome visual novels will absolutely love this game. 10/10 would recommend.”
“It had a good amount of funny, emotional, and wholesome scenes.”
“The story felt flat and uninspired, making it hard to connect with any of the characters.”
“I found the emotional moments to be forced and unconvincing, leaving me indifferent.”

The gameplay of this visual novel is primarily focused on reading and following a linear story, with minimal interactive elements, making it feel more like watching an anime than engaging in traditional gameplay. While it offers multiple routes for different love interests, the lack of depth and complexity may not appeal to those seeking more dynamic gameplay experiences. Overall, it is recommended for fans of cozy visual novels who appreciate narrative-driven content without extensive gameplay mechanics.
“This visual novel, out of most I've played so far, feels the most like a weekly anime. You don't feel too lost when you pick up the story, even if you've not played it for a month or so. The story is not in-depth, so there's no underlying tones to understand or extensive gameplay to get through.”
“The battle royale mode differs from the normal gameplay slightly but doesn't stray far enough away to be confusing for players of the main game and almost serves as a game on its own.”
“Definitely a must-buy for those who look for a cozy visual novel without any gameplay or choices outside of a 'which girl would you fancy next?' route selection.”
“If you were planning on playing an adult game that uses visual novel mechanics, this is a hard pass.”
“There's not really any gameplay, just reading.”
“Definitely a must buy for those who look for a cozy visual novel without any gameplay or choices outside of a 'which girl would you fancy next?' route selection.”
