❤ Protagonist and Choices

The game casts players as Yurika, a smart, sarcastic, and proactive protagonist who is a far cry from the typical passive otome heroine. Reviewers praise Yurika's distinct personality, noting how her choices meaningfully impact the story and shape her relationships with the love interests. Players highlight specific instances where Yurika takes the initiative, such as actively pursuing the men and speaking her mind, as refreshing departures from genre conventions.

❤ Narrative Structure and Pacing

Episode 1 offers two standalone routes centered on the love interests Cinderella and Red Riding Hood. While independent, the routes provide distinctly different storylines and tones. Most players report that the pacing feels satisfactory, with Cinderella's route, in particular, allowing for sufficient character and plot development. However, some reviewers felt that Red Riding Hood's route moved at a slightly faster clip. Reviewers describe the overall narrative as well-written, with interesting plot twists that subvert common otome tropes. The game skillfully blends lighthearted, humorous moments with more serious, darker themes, hinting at the deeper, more complex storylines to come in future episodes.

❤ Presentation and Production Values

The game's visual and audio presentation earns widespread acclaim. Players praise the beautiful art style and creative character designs, especially the gender-swapped interpretations of classic fairy tale characters. The Japanese voice acting also receives universal praise, with standout performances from the love interests and the protagonist's companion, Alice. While the localization has been the subject of some debate, most reviewers view the English script positively, describing it as witty, humorous, and effective in capturing the personalities of the characters. The atmospheric music and attention to detail in the overall presentation contribute to an immersive and enjoyable experience for players.
