This is one of those games I can straight-up admit I didn't "get it." Not in the sense of cognitive understanding of what the game is about or what it's trying to achieve, but rather in an "I don't understand why people like this" way. While I can certainly criticize it for being cliche, boring, lackluster, occasionally pretentious, heavily reliant on RPG Maker Yume Nikki-esque vibes, almost entirely consisting of surface-level fetch quests, and attempting to tap into the genre of meta-fiction while also having absolutely nothing new or interesting to add about it narratively or thematically, it probably wouldn't matter to anyone this did work for. Other people were truly immersed and were able to see value in this, and I'm proud of them for it -- but for me, I honestly just do not get it.
