The story is characterized as light yet rich, featuring lovable characters with engaging backstories that enhance player investment. While the narrative includes humorous and emotional moments, some players feel that the pacing suffers due to repetitive gameplay mechanics and time-wasting elements. Overall, the focus is on building relationships with the maids, each offering unique and endearing storylines, though some aspects of the plot are considered forgettable.
“8/10 recommended, playtime for unlocking all endings is around 6-7 hours; the story is light but rich.”
“The story could have a positive, negative, or even a neutral impact depending on the route, plus how you interact with the characters.”
“A very good story, lovable characters, tons of funny moments and sad moments, with a ton of fun as a reward.”
“About half of the playtime is unfortunately spent just wasting time either spamming out the same abilities to reach affection-level targets for the next story scene to progress, or else waiting for the right day/time combination to crop up in order for the next story event trigger to be available.”
“[h1]The story, and indeed the wider narrative, is entirely forgettable[/h1]”
“The story is basically all about getting closer to the maids and learning more about them, while developing a deeper, albeit twisted relationship with them.”
