The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the unique art style and well-drawn cutscenes, while others criticize the overall quality as subpar, likening it to outdated visuals reminiscent of PS2 games. Although the artwork in visual-novel segments is appreciated, many players feel the graphics are cheap and lack polish, detracting from the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, some users find the art style charming and believe it adds a certain appeal to the game.
- “I like the unique art style of the models and environment; the artwork during the visual-novel style segments is really well drawn. The game has voice acting, and the controls are also great and smooth, making it very easy to control.”
- “The game features cutscenes with anime and visual novel elements at the beginning and end of each chapter, with decent artwork, voice acting, and a dynamic environment where all the characters have names, school routines, and additional agendas.”
- “There are levels, clear objectives, it's open world, and the art style is charming.”
- “The graphics are far from pretty.”
- “If you are there for the 'anime' graphics, you may be disappointed as well because apart from the illustrations which are passable, the game is far from pretty.”
- “The graphics look to be PS2 for a 2017 game but the story somewhat makes up for it, but not by much.”

The story has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it basic and underdeveloped, often wishing for more depth and character development. While some appreciate the unique premise and entertaining elements, others criticize the pacing and lack of substantial content, describing it as a series of short missions rather than a cohesive narrative. Overall, the game's storytelling is seen as a fun but flawed aspect, with potential that remains largely unfulfilled.
- “The cute art scenes and storyline mixed in between the murdering of your fellow students make for a really fun time!”
- “The story is different; Akari acts like an actual yandere (she's sweet to her crush, spends time with him, and goes after the people who try to take him away from her). The characters are unique and have names that didn't come from a first name list or Google Translate, and the school setting is designed completely differently.”
- “I found this game entertaining for a while and really liked the storyline, for the part it had; I just wished the story parts were extended.”
- “It's not perfect in any way and the story is meh.”
- “The story is basic and simple.”
- “But with that, the game unfortunately still retains some flaws with the storytelling, characters, mechanics, and other ideas not being fully explored.”

The gameplay is criticized for being overly repetitive, primarily revolving around the cycle of killing and burying targets, despite each chapter featuring unique characters with distinct traits. While the game offers a variety of weapons and some replay value through unlockable content, it suffers from broken mechanics, bugs, and a lack of depth, making it feel bland overall. It may appeal to players looking for a short, simple stealth-based experience, especially if purchased at a discount.
- “Amazing gameplay, graphics 10/10.”
- “Recommended when at discount or bundle offer for those looking for a short 3D stealth-based action game with simple gameplay mechanics, fan service, achievements that are easy to get in less than 10 hours, optional trivia questions, a dynamic environment with decent voice acting, anime cutscenes, and don't mind any of the controversial content, bugs, or likelihood of inducing motion sickness as a 3D game.”
- “Gameplay is alright.”
- “Gameplay is way too repetitive.”
- “There are many bugs and glitches in the game, and the gameplay feels overall bland and repetitive.”
- “The game itself isn't very long and only amounts to 51 minutes to an hour of gameplay.”

The game's humor is a standout feature, providing a mix of intentional and unintentional laughs, particularly through absurd situations and character reactions. Players appreciate the comedic elements surrounding the yandere archetype and find joy in glitches and NPC interactions, though some desire more content to enhance the experience. Overall, it delivers a hilariously entertaining experience, albeit on the shorter side.
- “This is a great game if you want a very funny experience.”
- “But you'll be laughing both at and with the game.”
- “I don't know if it was intentional or not, but a lot of the humor in the game, at least for me, was the rather underreaction of the non-game characters when Akari Furutaka screws up by committing a murder in front of someone walking in front of them with a dead body or forgetting to hide a murder weapon.”
replayability

The game offers limited replayability due to its repetitive gameplay loop, where players primarily engage in the same kill-and-bury mechanics. While each chapter features unique targets that add some variety, the overall experience is relatively short, lasting around 30 minutes. However, unlockable outfits and achievements provide a slight incentive for players to revisit the game.
- “Every chapter is unique in that each target you have to kill is someone different, such as a schoolgirl who can follow you or a group of baseball players surrounded by students. The unlockable outfits and achievements provide some replay value.”
- “Although intriguing and at times challenging, the gameplay remains too linear and doesn't provide enough replay value once it has captured the attention of certain players.”
- “The game features a variety of targets, like a transfer student who can follow you around the school and a school nurse who is always in the infirmary. While it's not particularly long, the unlockable outfits and achievements add some replay value.”
- “Gameplay, however, is a little too repetitive: kill someone, bury them, kill someone again, bury them. That's basically it. At least every chapter is unique in that every target you have to kill is someone different. It's not a particularly long game, maybe 30 minutes at most, but the unlockable outfits and achievements provide some replay value, I guess.”
- “Although intriguing and at times challenging, the gameplay is reduced to being too linear and does not provide enough replay value once it has snatched the attention from certain players.”
- “It's not a particularly long game, maybe 30 minutes at most, but the unlockable outfits and achievements provide some replay value, I guess.”

- “The depth of the characters and their backstories added a rich layer to the gameplay, making me invested in their journeys.”
