The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users noting its simplicity and lack of creativity, which detracts from the overall experience. While some appreciate the fun and brain-teasing aspects, others feel that the emphasis on lewd art undermines the gameplay's significance, making it feel more like a showcase than a fully developed game.

“Fun brain-teasing puzzle, and I love the concept of gameplay.”

“The gameplay is the downside of the game for sure.”
“The developers unsubtly stating that the gameplay doesn't matter does cheapen the game experience, making it feel like more of a showcase of lewd art and less of a gameplay experience, which is not the direction I want NSFW Steam games to go in.”

The monetization strategy has been criticized for prioritizing convenience features, like the auto-complete button, over engaging gameplay, leading to disappointment among players who expect a more interactive experience from their purchase.
“The game makes the mistake of acknowledging that they didn't care about the gameplay by advertising the auto-complete button on the store page. It's unfortunate because I believe that if I buy a game, I want to play a game, even if that game is advertising its lewd art.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, as it prioritizes profit over player experience, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
“I find the in-game purchases to be excessive and intrusive, often breaking the immersion and making it feel more like a cash grab than a genuine gaming experience.”
