The gameplay is praised for its fun and engaging mechanics, offering a fresh alternative to similar games like Wordle. While some elements, such as the diary feature, are seen as unnecessary, the overall experience is enjoyable and encourages players to explore its unique aspects. Users recommend trying the game for its entertaining challenges.
- “But the art is so cute and the gameplay is actually so fun; I really liked it.”
- “Since it is free and I feel that explaining the conceit would take way too much time, I'll simply insist you try and download this game if you want to discover its unique mechanics.”
- “I love playing Wordle, but I was already sick of the same thing, and now this new game will be its replacement. With different mechanics, it manages to challenge and entertain in a perfect way!”
- “The diary part of the game is a useless addition; it doesn't affect the gameplay at all, and I find myself questioning how much it contributes to the overall strategy or information in the game.”
- “I feel that explaining the conceit of this game would take too much time, and while it is free, I can't recommend it due to its lack of engaging gameplay.”
- “I love playing word games, but this new game feels repetitive and fails to offer anything fresh or exciting, making it a disappointing replacement.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the emotional depth of the soundtrack, particularly the calm and sad tracks. However, some users express a desire for more consistency in the tonal range, preferring lower notes to maintain a specific mood. Additionally, there are criticisms regarding the monetization of the soundtrack, with some feeling that the developer's request for donations and DLC purchases feels exploitative.
- “Calm and sad soundtrack are my favorites.”
- “It's a fun little game with a nice art style and music; it doesn't take long to get the achievements, about 20 minutes.”
- “Loved the soundtrack for each feeling, but I wished the soundtrack stayed more on the lower notes rather than some of them starting on high notes.”
- “This is still only free in a rudimentary sense... the developer has their hand out for a $5 USD 'donation' for this as you're expected to buy soundtrack DLC from Steam to 'support' the developer... digital panhandling.”

The monetization aspect of the game has been criticized for the presence of suspicious reviews, likely from fake accounts that promote the game shortly after its Steam launch, suggesting a pattern of manipulation often associated with asset flips and cash grabs.
- “The monetization system feels exploitative, with prices set unreasonably high for in-game items that should be accessible to all players.”
- “It seems like the game was designed primarily to extract money from players rather than provide a fair gaming experience.”
- “The constant push for microtransactions disrupts the gameplay and makes it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”

- “Each playthrough offers new challenges and strategies, making you want to dive back in for another round.”
- “The game encourages experimentation with different approaches, ensuring that no two playthroughs feel the same.”
- “The replayability is moderate as it corresponds to games of this genre; there are somewhere below half a million combinations, by my reckoning, but they all play the same way.”

- “The game lacks meaningful choices that would encourage multiple playthroughs, making it feel repetitive after the first run.”
