The story is widely regarded as shallow, rushed, and poorly written, with flat characters and clichéd horror tropes that fail to engage. While some players appreciate the multiple perspectives and basic murder mystery framework, the plot often feels forced, overly focused on sexual content, and lacking meaningful depth or variation. Overall, it’s seen as a short, somewhat amusing but ultimately disappointing narrative experience.
- “Neat short story with options and a twist ending; really enjoyed looking forward to trying all characters and hopefully future stories like this in the future.”
- “While I can't say this game was amazing, I can say that it got me to play through on all the characters to see their (slightly different) sides of the story and to obtain all the achievements.”
- “It's easy to track down the "triggering options", the choices that unlock key scenes and move the plot forward.”
- “The dialogue is bad, the characters are flimsy and one-dimensional, the plot is trying for "horror" but usually ends up either boring or accidentally hilarious (see for instance the image of three people standing around the bloody corpse of their recently murdered friend with expressions of mild discomfort, at best).”
- “The story breaks the immersion so often via stupid decisions of these teenagers, that I cannot recommend this game to anyone, especially not to fans of the genre or gametype.”
- “The story is pretty short and everything about the plot felt forced.”

- “The art-style is really nice.”
- “Music is okay, artwork is... actually kinda decent.”
- “I really admire the skills that went into this graphic presentation of this game because a visual novel stands and falls with the artwork.”
- “The story is shallow, and the graphics are, let's say, below average.”
- “The cartoonish, storybook visuals clash with the anime characters and the eventual turn to horror.”
- “The bad: graphics, gameplay, music, dialogues.”

humor

The humor in the game is largely unintentional, stemming from poor dialogue, one-dimensional characters, and awkward tonal shifts that make serious scenes unintentionally hilarious. While the fan service and storytelling are considered weak and boring by many, the game's absurdity and easy achievements offer some comedic value, especially on replay. Overall, the humor is seen as "so bad it's funny," providing a brief, if somewhat shallow, entertainment experience.
- “Plus the achievement names are funny, and quite easy to unlock.”
- “It's funny to replay it with different characters to see different sides of the main story.”
- “It is so terrible, that made me laugh to the point that my liver almost exploded.”

- “Seemed nice at the beginning, but then the story gets completely nonsense, the characters are flat and the music is too.”
- “Boring visual novel with silly plot, plain characters and annoying background music.”
- “Combine that with the plot being a bit too de-immersive at times with the puzzles and the overly themed music appearing, it just wasn't as good as it could've been.”

The game suffers from frequent bugs, including looping scenes with unchanged images and occasional issues with background music and text. Despite these stability problems, it still provides a unique experience, though the overall coherence and character writing are weak.
- “However, it's still buggy, barely coherent, and full of unlikeable characters who come across like the writer doesn't understand basic human interaction, and the "twist ending" is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever read in my life.”
- “The background music gets buggy every now and then.”
- “The text gets buggy every now and then.”
