The story is widely praised for its surprisingly compelling blend of humor, serious themes, and engaging characters, evolving from a goofy, meme-filled premise into a layered narrative involving government conspiracies and supernatural elements. Despite some criticisms of its short length and occasional jank in gameplay or translation, the story's depth, pacing, and emotional moments keep players invested and often outshine the game's mechanical flaws. Overall, it is considered the standout feature that makes the experience worthwhile.
“It starts out as a meme game but the story becomes very interesting and the characters are very well written, you will quickly find yourself rooting for them.”
“The game manages to get you invested in the story and characters, engage you throughout the plot and have a satisfying conclusion all in three hours.”
“Beneath the mask of this hilarious concept is a well thought out universe with an excellently paced story campaign.”
“Also, the story sucks and the characters aren't even likable.”
“Instead, it's those things but also a tedious political thriller full of betrayal, intrigue, secret government operations to take advantage of shifting demographics in rural Japan to deal with ghost overpopulation, an actual PowerPoint presentation delivered by the villain to mock the plot padding the developers are being forced to put in, and lots of annoyingly drawn-out gunfight sequences with soldiers that just barely clears three hours, ending with an unexplained deus ex machina after the protagonist is completely defeated.”
“However it is about 70% of the game, probably for the better as the gameplay is kind of mid (more on this later) but it did drag on quite a bit and honestly I was left wondering a few times why this was even a game with the amount of story to gameplay there was.”
