The gameplay is generally described as solid and simple, with puzzles that start off easy but can become challenging later on. However, some players find the gameplay monotonous and feel that many puzzles lack real difficulty, often providing answers too readily. Despite some issues with dialogue and translation, the game offers a decent amount of playtime and a varied story, appealing particularly to fans of RPG Maker games with a furry aesthetic.
- “Solid gameplay, challenging, but not too challenging puzzles (at least at first, only got so far thus far), overall good game.”
- “Nice furry game with simple gameplay but the story is varied and complicated; if you like RPG Maker games with furry style and complex plot, you should try it.”
- “I wouldn't mind paying $5 for a game like this, since it can easily give you 8+ hours of gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is incredibly monotonous and the puzzles are all spelled out to you as a way to hinder your progression.”

- “There is too much text and less gameplay - like I'm at the point where they meet Cain and there is so much dialogue!”
