Fans of BTS immediately took to Twitter to express their feelings about the trailer.

The animation part is too good that we can feel the fantasy world over there, I can't wait to play this game. I want a happy ending for them," while another tweeted about the storyline saying, "the storyline is already so sad and tragic and now this animation is making it, even more, angst.. it has suspense and mystery this has a good potential tbh, also can we all agree that we need to see actor Bangtan more often."

Another member of the BTS Army expressed how sad the storyline of the game seems from its trailer and said, "bts universe story is so? sad? it's also very realistic with how the characters are portrayed. they're just normal boys living their life, except no one really knows how hard their life is. they experienced many sh*tty things but grateful that they at least they had one another."

The same fan continued, "like )): it's such a relatable friendship story? except without the stabbing and time travel and hit and runs.... but the story itself. the fact that you love those people so much, you're willing to risk your life to give them better lives after seeing their current situation." The fan further wrote about how invested they are in the game and said, "it's just really so? investing and heartwarming to see the story? like i know it's fiction, but we also all know that these boys love each other so much, they love each other like no other and it's nice to see their love portrayed even in their fictional universe."
