The gameplay is typical visual novel fare, the choices are few and obvious, and the replay value isn't outstanding.

Regardless, it wins high marks for plot and setting, where it takes a basic High Fantasy setting and instead mostly uses it a backdrop for a lot of Game of Thrones style political intrigue, though it's not as dark as GoT, though it gets there at times. It also gleefully subverts the "demons are always evil" trope in one route, and considering the most evil done in the setting is done by humans, it poses an interesting moral question with the suggested answer that while the races depicted are certainly capable of doing horrible things, simply assuming one or the other is wholly evil is bigoted and falls more to the choices one makes that determines where you'll pet puppies or kick them.

It also wins high marks for mostly allowing the player to skip past the sex scenes while still making them somewhat plot relevant anyway, which is rather odd for a nukige, where the story is supposed to be a mere vehicle to deliver the porn, but in this one a few subtle story clues can be found in the porn scenes, but skipping past them doesn't really hurt the enjoyment of the non-porn parts, which are surprisingly well thought out for a nukige.
