- “I only played for 30 minutes, but I for the life of me could not tell you what any form of story there could be or its direction.”

While the visuals are praised, some critics mention that the storyline does not match the same level of quality, often feeling shallow despite the appealing artwork.
- “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 music in the game has received positive feedback for its quality and ability to enhance the storytelling, with many reviewers noting that it fits well with the game's atmosphere and character interactions. While some mentioned that certain tracks can become repetitive, the overall soundtrack is described as catchy and enjoyable, reminiscent of other popular visual novels like the Nekopara series.

- “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 from time to time. Besides that, it did not bother me because I enjoyed every song within the game.”
- “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!”

Overall, while the game has its share of touching scenes, many feel that the emotional impact is undermined by forced adult content and a lack of coherent storytelling.

The gameplay of this visual novel is primarily focused on reading and story progression, with minimal interactive elements, making it feel more like watching an anime than engaging in traditional gameplay. Players can expect a straightforward experience with multiple routes for different love interests, but those seeking deeper gameplay mechanics or extensive choices may find it lacking. Overall, it caters well to fans of cozy visual novels, especially with its additional content available through DLC.
- “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 haven't 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.”
- “Ditzy Demons' gameplay is typical of visual novels: the text of the story is presented to you a paragraph at a time from the point of view of the protagonist, and you click or press a key to advance to the next paragraph while watching the pretty pictures change as the story progresses.”
- “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.”

Character development in this game is largely overshadowed by its focus on adult content, with many players noting that once romantic routes are chosen, deeper insights into the characters are lacking. While the character designs are praised for their uniqueness and beauty, the narrative tends to prioritize sexual encounters over meaningful character growth, leaving some players disappointed in the overall depth of the characters. Despite enjoyable slice-of-life moments in the common route, the transition to romance routes diminishes the potential for further character exploration.
- “There is a lot of content in this game, including sketches of the character design process and some commentary about it, which gave me a newfound respect for Japanese voice actors and actresses.”
- “The character designs are unique and well-defined, the game interface is clean and straightforward, the music is enjoyable, and the branching routes are simple and easy to navigate.”
- “The character design is amazing and beautiful, the story is good, multiple main routes as well as side character routes, and great romance.”
- “For the most part it’s an enjoyable, cute slice-of-life standard romance, but even then, you need to know that this is still a nukige, as per vndb’s consensus (meaning: it’s a hentai game, and very little thought is put into character development or plot).”
- “After you finally choose one of the five girls you want to romance, the character development is pushed aside, and the game only focuses on the sexual intercourses.”
- “To be precise, I didn't feel like there were any new insights into the characters once I started to romance a girl, which is a shame given character development is the most important thing to me.”
