The story has received mixed reviews, with many praising its engaging characters and unique approach to themes of relationships and personal growth, particularly in the context of queer representation. While some players found the multiple endings and puzzle integration compelling, others felt that certain plot aspects could have been explored more deeply, leading to a desire for further expansion. Overall, the narrative is described as captivating and thought-provoking, though it occasionally suffers from pacing issues and a lack of clarity in some segments.
- “Honestly, this game is a super fun treat; the art style and story are very engaging.”
- “The story and visuals draw inspiration heavily from both Silent Hill and Otherside Picnic, but it brings so many interesting original elements to them that it feels like an homage rather than a ripoff.”
- “The 'true' ending was a deeply satisfying conclusion to a story about two queer women, and I hope the team revisits Asahi and Kirin's relationship in the future, as they are both compelling characters who experience their own personal growth through the events of the story.”
- “The story is a bit weird with the themes; it's very good in some parts of the game, but I was not following it all the time or cared to do so.”
- “The delivery of the story is very subjective; I almost feel like the game bounces between being a generic relationship game and being super clever with game deconstruction. I definitely feel like there are a lot of thought-provoking themes, but it's not something that I felt all the time, and unfortunately, the game tends to get better halfway in.”
- “I wish the story moved with more purpose because it did get a little boring in some sections.”

The gameplay is a unique blend of point-and-click mechanics and psychedelic exploration, featuring an engaging elevator system that adds suspense and curiosity. While it incorporates horror elements that may not always be frightening, the game offers creative narrative twists and encourages players to uncover secrets and story context through exploration. Overall, it stands out from typical visual novels with its innovative approach and disjointed storytelling.
- “The mechanics of moving around the place in an elevator are a nice addition to the genre - the suspense of what we will see this time after the elevator doors open creates a combination of curiosity and a slight thrill.”
- “If anything, the actual core of the game is psychedelic exploration, resembling an easter egg hunt for various secrets and additional story context. It slightly reminds me of games like 'Who's Lila', but with a static point-and-click gameplay, especially the whole looping effect, which transforms the experience from just reading a wall of text into something more engaging.”
- “The gameplay is point-and-click and requires you to find items, look for clues, and also use the elevator.”
- “If anything, the actual meat of the game is psychedelic exploration, one of those easter egg hunts for various secrets and additional story context. It slightly reminds me of games like 'Who's Lila', but with a static point-and-click gameplay, especially the whole looping effect, becoming something different from just reading a wall of text, and sometimes getting the story from disjointed segments, not necessarily a linear experience.”
- “At first, I was fully convinced it would be another generic visual novel, and to be fair, sometimes it does feel that way, even as deep as 3-4 hours into the game. However, there are some really cool and creative narrative twists if you manage to find them, and as a visual novel, it feels very different once the whole elevator gameplay starts.”
