The story aspect of the game receives mixed reviews, with some praising the narratives of the summer and autumn seasons for their depth and emotional impact, while others criticize the spring and winter stories for being disjointed and poorly executed. Overall, the interconnected seasonal stories present intriguing twists but suffer from pacing issues and a lack of character development, leading to an inconsistent experience. The narrative is described as feeling like fanfiction, with a plot that struggles to maintain coherence throughout.
- “Both are really solid, and you get a good sense of character and story out of them.”
- “The story told in the summer and autumn seasons were spot-on and I’d give those a 9/10 respectively.”
- “Some twists of the plot were a real surprise.”
- “The plot is all over the place and no effort is made to make the reader care about the characters or make them remotely interesting.”
- “The developer started this project back in 2015, so expect a work that writes like fanfiction, whereas the overall theme goes from 'what am I writing?' to 'I think I'm writing.' Expect a plot that is strung together and is expected to be tied together at the very end.”
- “A very short novel that discusses a few life concerns in a concise and meaningful manner, but it lacks a solid foundation on story pacing and on-point execution.”
