The game's graphics are a mixed bag, featuring a visually pleasing art style inspired by Lewis Carroll's Wonderland, but ultimately suffering from low-quality, simplistic 2D visuals reminiscent of low-effort flash games.

While the artwork is commendable, it fails to consistently impress throughout the game, leading to a disconnect between the polished cutscenes and the gameplay graphics.
