The story has received widespread acclaim for its engaging narrative, unique setting in a kabuki troupe, and well-developed characters, with many praising its emotional depth and surprising plot twists. While some users noted issues with pacing and the need for premium choices to progress, the overall sentiment highlights a beautifully crafted tale that resonates with players, touching on sensitive themes and offering a compelling experience. Despite minor criticisms, the storytelling is often described as one of the game's standout features, leaving players eager for more.
“This was a beautiful story with sensitive subjects of trauma and abuse that was tastefully written in the right way.”
“I truly fell in love with the characters, this is another amazing story by Genius Inc.”
“The story is excellent and compelling.”
“The story had so much potential but it feels like such a rush job.”
“It feels like I'm playing a pay-to-win game, or otherwise doing something that's totally out of character and sometimes downright rude in the story.”
“Sadly, pulling story and beautiful characters aren't enough to make some of us give a fortune just to continue playing. You need 22 diamonds to answer (called premium choice) and you start with 30 diamonds, having no other way of obtaining more except buying them for real money.”

The gameplay is engaging and well-crafted, featuring interesting characters and a coherent story without noticeable typos or grammar issues. While some mechanics, like the lucky wheel, may feel rigged, they are easy to understand and still provide rewarding experiences, contributing to an overall positive impression of the game.

“Even though the lucky wheels are obviously rigged, the mechanics are easily understandable. It's still a very good game, considering the wheel rewards you no matter what.”

The monetization system in the game is criticized for its complexity, featuring multiple currencies with an inefficient exchange rate that makes progression slow. Players express frustration over the lack of options to earn premium currency through ads, which limits their ability to access content like chapter tickets.
“Even if it's watching multiple ads, this game has multiple types of currency, and though you can trade coins for rubies, the exchange is absurd and takes far too long.”
“There's no watching ads to get points which you can use to get diamonds because they are probably used for tickets you have to use if you want to play the next chapter.”
