The graphics are described as abstract and aesthetically rewarding, creating a digital art installation feel that engages players in a unique visual experience. However, some users find navigation challenging due to the abstract nature of the visuals, and it is recommended to keep the graphics settings at normal for optimal experience.

The gameplay offers a unique and intriguing experience that deviates from traditional mechanics, encouraging players to engage in a different mode of perception. However, it can be frustratingly unclear and may appeal primarily to those willing to invest significant time navigating its ambiguous environment.
- “In theory, this is a very interesting experience devoid of the usual trappings and mechanics of your typical game, focusing more on creating a novel experience with interesting sensations that encourages you to focus your attention and shift into a different mode of perception; in practice, this game is almost infuriatingly opaque and self-selects for players with ample time on their hands to flail about and wander through a nauseatingly blurry fog with no instruction.”
