- “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.”

- “With its blend of striking visuals, engaging gameplay, and rich storytelling, this game claws its way into your heart and leaves a lasting impression.”
- “The reason for my tardiness is that I’m incredibly bad with any gameplay, so, at first, I couldn’t proceed without a guide, and then, much later, I found myself unable to get further even with the help of a walkthrough.”
- “Sadly, the loop mechanic the game introduces removes the sense of tension; the elevator game is supposed to play with your mind, where you can't distinguish whether you're in the real world or the 'other world'.”
- “If anything, the actual meat of the game is psychedelic exploration, one of those easter egg hunts for various secrets and additional story context, slightly reminding 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.”
