The game's story features a well-crafted narrative centered around a young girl named Illya and her brothers as they confront a group of witches with sinister intentions. While some reviewers criticize the plot for being generic and reminiscent of RPG Maker assets, others appreciate the engaging progression and character development that keeps players invested. Overall, the story evolves from a slow start into a captivating journey that encourages exploration and continued play.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “I always say that the foundation of these games is a good story, and this one fills the bill with a well-told tale of a young girl (Illya), her two brothers (Lyonel and Vayne), and three other playable characters that I have discovered so far as they take on a group of witches that have wicked plans for the world of the story.”
- “The game has an ordinary start as you build your characters' abilities by playing in three differing groups before everyone comes together, but, like 'Midnight's Blessing' from the same developer, as the story unfolds the pace quickly picks up and becomes one of those games that draws you in for one more area to explore, or one more battle, or one more task.”
- “This shouldn't be surprising, but the general, lazy plot for the game is as recycled as the RPG Maker stock assets the developer keeps regurgitating onto his asset flips.”

The monetization aspect of the game is criticized for being exploitative and poorly executed, with many reviewers labeling it a cash grab that relies on low-quality assets and minimal development effort. This approach not only undermines the integrity of the game but also tarnishes the reputation of amateur developers in the industry.
- “It's horribly basic, riddled with grammatical and spelling errors, full of stock copy-pasted RPG Maker assets. No real game development has taken place here; this is just a cash grab, shovelware polluting Steam for profit.”
- “This kind of cash grab construction kit shovelware from bad actors like Andorlea gives amateur developers a bad name.”
