The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users describing them as "horrible" and "terrible," particularly for a Unity title.

- “The game has nice graphics.”
- “Good graphics (dependent on art style of course).”
- “Do not let this game's banner and price tag fool you, this game is terrible... I could not interact with anything (or find anything to interact with), the graphics were weird and I ran along the ocean floor to a nearby small island that was entirely black (no textures) and empty.”
- “The graphics on the store page are not even the gameplay graphics; the real graphics (you can watch in a review) are about 1/10 of what the store displays.”
- “That's only your first 10 minutes of the game; the graphics and assets are garbage, animations are trash, and the world is plain and boring with nothing to see. There's only one 'town' with some crappy buildings with nothing in them.”
