The humor in the game is largely driven by the protagonist's quirky and sometimes scatterbrained thoughts, which can elicit chuckles, especially in romantic contexts. While one character shines with hilarity across various routes, another lacks comedic depth, contributing little beyond attractiveness. Overall, the humor is a mixed bag, with moments of genuine amusement intertwined with less engaging elements.
- “In fact, he's even hilarious in the other romance routes, and I found myself adoring his character regardless of whether or not he's in love with you or just a good friend.”
- “It's not bad at all, but it's told from the viewpoint of the main character in first person, and you get to read her current thoughts firsthand. They're sometimes a bit scatterbrained to the point where you're just asking 'why?' - especially the romantic thoughts, but that also got me chuckling a few times.”
- “What's really funny is that during the game, it reminded me of one of my favorites, 'These Nights in Cairo,' which made no sense because this game has a completely different tone and setting. Yet, it was bugging me, and then I realized that they were made by the same people, and I was subconsciously recognizing the art style...”
- “She's not funny or particularly observant or philosophical, so she doesn't bring much to the table aside from being attractive and good.”
