The story is a complex exploration of love, manipulation, and ethical dilemmas, weaving psychological and philosophical themes throughout its narrative.

The hidden side story, while impactful, is noted for its darker themes and may not be suitable for all audiences, leading to mixed reactions regarding its overall execution and emotional resonance.
- “The game has an incredible story that delves very deeply into topics concerning love, romance, and the human philosophy relating to it.”

- “This story overall has left me with a changed perception on what love and romance are.”
- “Many parts of the story tended to meander quite a bit, but the concept was good enough and it was consistent.”
- “The story tries to say some profound things about love but doesn't really live up to its ambitions, mostly because of a failure with 'show, don't tell.' The story puts its focus in sections that are irrelevant to its thesis.”
- “The story unravels in the second half, but at the same time, I feel the writing itself is a little rushed, both in plot and story, and in grammar and translation errors.”

Character development is rated 8/10, with notable time skips that impact depth, but the main heroine, while initially weaker than others, shows significant growth in the final moments. Side characters are praised for their strong presence, and the overall character design is described as cute and expressive.
- “Character development: 8/10 (it is pretty short so there are a fair bit of time skips, otherwise it is pretty good. The 'little sister' is a decent heroine, but is weaker than the two other counterparts and some other heroines in other visual novels I have played. She gets better in the last 20 minutes as she evolves from a standard to a pretty amazing heroine. The side characters are amazing throughout though.)”
- “Very cute character design and expression.”
