- “Intriguing storyline, a familiar base story with some neat twists and branches.”
- “The order in which objectives are gained compared to when you can achieve them (medical room quest etc.) can feel very slow at times.”
- “For a free-to-play game made in RPG Maker, this actually had a lot deeper stuff going behind its story than I first thought, and I actually enjoyed some of the sequences (aside from those stupid sewer areas and all the backtracking for 100% completion).”
- “I am hoping for a sequel... (though I have not finished the bonus part yet, so I don't know yet if all plot points were solved or if a sequel is really needed).”

The gameplay is characterized by a blend of simple mechanics focused on stealth and exploration within a secret lab, balanced by engaging out-of-combat elements that encourage exploration and strategic resource management. Players appreciate the transition from a combat/hidden object style to more intense gameplay, although some express a desire for additional character slots in the active party. Overall, the gameplay is well-received, with nostalgic elements reminiscent of classic Game Boy titles.
- “Gameplay feels very balanced, with the expense of items to money gained in battle, growth of stats to unlocking areas, etc. (I do wish your active party could hold one more character though).”
- “Gameplay: the perfectionist starts off almost like a combat/hidden object game and rapidly transitions into something far more intense.”
- “The gameplay is pretty simple; the bulk of the game is spent sneaking around a secret lab that experiments on 'criminals'.”
- “Out-of-combat gameplay involves a lot of exploration in a way that gets me excited every time I get past a roadblock.”
- “The story and gameplay just remind me so much of the Game Boy games I used to play when I was little.”
