The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and charm, featuring a cute art style and engaging characters, but it is also noted to be quite short. While the basic mechanics are easy to grasp, the game introduces new rules and upgrades over time that enhance the experience, preventing it from becoming monotonous. However, it may only appeal to those specifically interested in Pokémon Snap-style gameplay and character-driven narratives.

- “Simple but fun gameplay, sadly a very short experience.”
- “You start out with the basics, and as the week goes on, it adds new rules and upgrades that enhance/complicate the gameplay (in a good way) such as adding more people to get in your way, adding more memory and other upgrades to the camera, and setting up new rules that can increase your social media presence!”
- “Not something I'd recommend unless you're really craving more Pokémon Snap-style gameplay and love stories where it's just learning about the characters.”
- “As you can see, the gameplay is quite simple.”
- “But on the other hand, the game would become so boring if it was longer – simply because of the simple gameplay.”
