The story of "Written in the Sky" is a short, linear narrative that revolves around a girl who becomes intertwined with an alien queen through a magical ring.

- “The story is funny and while the events seem a bit rushed due to the short playtime, it was a good read.”

- “This is definitely not a game, but a click-thru story (and a bad one at that).”
- “The story was extremely short, nonsensical, and rushed to make the ending happen.”
- “Overall, the story is boring, with unrelatable characters, and a situation that makes no sense.”

The gameplay of this visual novel is largely criticized for its lack of interactivity, with many reviewers noting that it feels more like reading a story than playing a game, offering minimal choices and very short playtime (around 15-20 minutes). While some appreciate the engaging narrative and character development, the absence of meaningful gameplay elements leads to a consensus that it lacks replay value and should not be classified as a traditional game. Overall, the experience is described as linear and unsatisfactory for those seeking interactive gameplay.
- “The simple mechanics allow for a seamless experience, letting the narrative and characters shine.”
- “Combining a love for the old with a willingness to innovate and utilize game mechanics to express ideas, rather than a binary input-output, this game should be on any and every one’s radar.”
- “Written in the Sky is a new revolutionary free-to-play game that has taken game media by storm with very interactive gameplay that really draws the player in.”
- “Gameplay - 0/10, no option to choose from; it's just like a storybook.”
- “That means there are no choices or actual gameplay; you just click through the story until the end with no room for any replay value.”
- “Overall, this game has a huge con (no gameplay? It shouldn't even be classified as a game!) and a few minor pros (being free is the only noteworthy one, the others don't really matter much).”

Character development in this visual novel is largely criticized for being superficial and underwhelming, with many reviewers noting that the story lacks depth and progression for its characters.

Many players expressed a desire for a longer story that would allow for more substantial development and engagement with the characters.
- “Still, I enjoyed this kinetic novel well enough for the story it had to offer, which took a little less than an hour of reading and would recommend it to kill some time if you can look past the questionable character designs for the story.”
- “Honestly, I would have preferred a longer story, one allowing for actual character development of both parties.”
- “This visual novel promised some interesting character development between the main character and her father, as well as her otherworldly love interest, but nothing feels really developed or concrete enough to give any sense of real progression.”
- “Its amateurly written and the character development is almost nonexistent.”
- “However, being this short removes any time for decent character development or any real plot.”
- “Third, everything skips; we never see any character development. We only just met the characters and now we say our goodbyes with an unsubtle 'end' with what looked to be a promise of a war, and sense of dread and loss as war lingers on the horizon... nope, just end.”
