The artwork is visually stunning, with beautiful character designs and well-crafted backgrounds.
The game features a unique and interesting plot that combines elements of vampires, religion, and time travel.
The voice acting is well done, adding to the overall experience of the game.

The writing is clunky and inconsistent, with many awkward phrases and a lack of character depth, making it hard to connect with the protagonist.
The game is marketed as a dating sim, but the romance feels secondary and underdeveloped, leading to disappointment for players expecting a more traditional otome experience.
Player choices have little impact on the story, resulting in a linear experience that diminishes the sense of agency.

The story is a convoluted mix of vampires, religion, and time travel, which many players found confusing and unsatisfying, especially given the lack of romance and dull character development. While some appreciated the unique plot elements, the overall execution felt rushed and linear, leading to a disjointed experience that failed to engage players. The writing quality was criticized for being clumsy and poorly translated, detracting from the potential of the narrative.
- “It's a story about vampires, religion (yes really), and [spoiler]time travel,[/spoiler] with a mystery thrown in.”
- “The actual plot is interesting along with the resolution.”
- “I think it's interesting that this game tries to balance both the story and romance aspect.”
- “The story was rushed and barely there, and nothing about the characters caught my interest.”
- “I struggled to connect with the story and world-building, as it felt disjointed.”
- “The game tries to both be story-focused and romance-focused at the same time, which just makes both aspects kind of fall on their face.”

The music in the game is generally well-composed and enhances the scenes, though it occasionally feels out of place or overpowers voice acting, particularly with the Japanese voice-over. While the quality is high and some original soundtrack elements are appreciated, players may need to adjust volume settings to achieve a better balance.
- “And, finally, the music is pleasant, well composed, and fitting to each of the scenes it's used for.”
- “I will say that I appreciate some of the original soundtrack being retained.”
- “The music is a little jarring at times or out of place, but the quality is very good.”
- “However, there were moments when the background music didn’t match the tone of a scene or overpowered the voice acting, something I particularly noticed while using the Japanese voice-over.”
- “I had to adjust the volume slider to keep the voices and music from clashing.”
