What players say

Players praise the art style and character designs, but nearly everyone says the game is very short, between one and two hours. The story focuses on a yandere male lead and a cold female lead, which some find compelling, though a few reviewers found the initial pacing slow with too much world-building. Players are split on whether the narrative is clever or merely okay, but most want more.
