These epilogues were easily my favourite moments of the VN that is until viewing the 'True' ending which really was a superb way to add closure to the whole scenario.

The soundtrack is quite nice, giving a mix of happy cheerful tunes, ominous ambient music, and a final sad credit song.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
MetaWare has a somewhat rudimentary art style, but overall it ends up being amusing and fitting to the VN's theme of being a demo.

I had a lot of fun exploring all the different dialogue options, and was also delightfully surprised by how challenging it was to actually reach all of the possible endings.
