The story in "The Redress of Mira" is primarily conveyed through books scattered throughout the game, creating a fairy-tale atmosphere that some players found engaging, while others criticized it for being disjointed and lacking closure. Although the narrative involves intertwining storylines of various characters in a feudal fantasy setting, many reviewers noted that the plot is predictable and could have been more effectively integrated into gameplay. Overall, while the storytelling method received mixed reviews, the game's visuals and music were praised, contributing to a captivating experience for fans of walking simulators.
- “This game is a gorgeous, calm fantasy walking sim with light puzzles, a little bit of combat, platforming, and a fairy-tale story told entirely through books you discover along the way.”
- “The storylines of Mira’s family, the mercenary’s, and the baron’s are intertwined and revealed through books located inside chests placed on Mira’s path, each of them unfolding one chapter of the whole story.”
- “The atmosphere and music are nice, the story we find in chests is intriguing and helps the protagonist to make the final choice (I chose the good ending).”
- “The story is not narrated but has to be read in this game.”
- “If you don't properly look around everywhere, you can miss books and therefore maybe miss crucial parts of the story, which is an odd decision from the dev.”
- “It's unfinished at best and bad storytelling at worst, as it robs the player of closure.”

Gameplay in the reviewed game is a mixed bag, featuring expansive levels that often lead to tedious navigation and simplistic mechanics that fail to engage players. While some new elements and light puzzle mechanics are introduced, many players find the combat and boss mechanics lacking depth, with stiff animations detracting from the overall experience. Despite attempts to innovate, the gameplay is criticized for being repetitive and not fully utilizing its potential, leaving a sense of boredom and missed opportunities.
- “Interesting (albeit simple) puzzle mechanics, and even a little swordplay.”
- “This game introduces many new mechanics for his games, and brings in a lot of old ones too, to make the most complete package of any game by him up to this point.”
- “Now to the nuts and bolts of Mira's gameplay: this is a different first-person game that Tonguc has created here, another interesting venture of his into fantasy RPG gaming, differing widely from the genre of what some (unfairly) call his 'walking simulators.' He's progressing now to more true adventure games, with RPG elements, not the least of which here include platform jumping and mana-collecting, along with a female protagonist (a beautiful 'elfin' woman).”
- “Levels that are way too big, so that most of the gameplay is spent just moving forward while pressing the 'run' button (and that's also often too slow).”
- “Unfortunately, the animations, or lack thereof, that accompany many of the new mechanics are so stiff and janky that they detract from the experience.”
- “While the mechanics are easy to understand, in my opinion the boss fight is made unnecessarily complex and doesn't fit that well with the relaxing pace which is innate to the walking simulator genre.”

- “Oh, and the soundtrack was okay.”
