The game features a heartwarming and engaging story with strong character development, though some players feel the narrative paths are somewhat linear, primarily differing in the romantic outcomes. While the Steam version is censored, the addition of an R18 patch enhances the experience without compromising the core story. Overall, it is seen as a wholesome visual novel that serves as an introduction to a larger narrative.
“Wholesome visual novel with a nice story to it.”
“Heartwarming story, great character development, and engaging gameplay.”
“Although, personally for me (on this game alone), the story and choices seem a little 'one way route', and by that I mean the only difference of the routes at the end game is which girl you date.”
“I would go as far as saying this was only an introduction to the main story.”

Users have reported various bugs in the game, including missing content and unclear functionality, leading to frustration over the release of a visually unstable product. Many express hope for upcoming bug fixes, but overall, the consensus is that the game's stability is currently lacking and disappointing given the developer's experience.
“There are other bugs too (a missing CG, whatever the hell pressing V does). I'm assuming bug fixes are on the way, but to release a buggy visual novel that exists on the same backbone of code you've used for years is unacceptable.”
“The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to progress without losing hours of gameplay.”
“I encountered multiple stability issues, including random freezes and glitches that ruin the overall experience.”
