The game's story has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with players praising its engaging plot, well-developed characters, and strong protagonist who defies typical tropes. Many reviewers appreciate the interconnectedness of the narrative with other games, expressing a desire for more episodes and stories set in the same universe. Overall, the storyline is described as captivating, fun, and a highlight of the gaming experience.
“This game is so good, the storyline, the characters, and I really love how you made the main character strong and not some damsel in distress. I love how she's smart and plays a big role in defeating the enemies, and that her emotions don't get in the way of how she fights. Overall, it's an incredible story, highly recommended.”
“The yokai otome world is so lovely yet so cruel. I love how the stories connect; it's a story with other stories intertwined. It's so refreshing and intriguing to play. I hope this isn't the end of the yokai world and that I can read more stories like this, different stories in one world/universe. That would be so cool and fun to read.”
“The characters, theme, plot, and setting are just wonderful!”

The graphics are praised for their beauty and superb quality, contributing significantly to the overall experience of the game. Users appreciate the artistic design and integration of characters from other titles, enhancing the visual appeal. However, some express concerns about the game's pricing model, which detracts from their overall satisfaction.
“Beautiful artworks and ending, but my only reason for not giving 5 stars is because it's way too expensive for the gems. Hopefully, one day you guys will offer a monthly subscription for us to access it for free.”
“Kyo was also in their game 'Spirits of Shrine.' If you have played that game, then you know this. There are some other characters from their other games in the yokai world. By the way, this game is awesome; everything is very nice—story, graphics, everything is superb! 💜💜”
“I loved the graphics and story.”
