The music in the game is generally well-crafted and complements the visuals and cinematics effectively, creating a pleasant atmosphere. However, in the musical puzzle sections, some technical issues with note highlighting caused confusion, which detracted from the overall experience.

- “This journey of remembrance has been beautifully illustrated and accompanied by well-crafted sound design and music.”
- “The music and the cinematics came together really well.”
- “The musical puzzle, especially.”
- “Hovering over lines to check if the cursor changes and continuously clicking for things to register, while happy music is playing was a jarring experience.”
- “There were visual hints of which musical notes were used, but unfortunately some notes were highlighted continuously despite being pressed twice.”
- “So paying attention to the out of sync musical score was needed to figure out if it was a double or simple click.”

The graphics are widely criticized for being lazily done, minimalist, and of very low quality, with some users finding them unappealing and outdated. However, a few appreciate the unique art style and clarity that allows the game to run on low-end PCs. Technical issues like lack of resolution options and memory leaks further detract from the visual experience.
- “The art style is unique and I love it.”
- “The visuals are as simple as seen in the store page but they do get the message across.”
- “The graphics are perfectly clear and can run on even the worst PCs (game specifications apply).”
- “The visuals in this game are a complete joke; it's seriously just a bunch of minimalist MS Paint line drawings that look like they were lazily scrawled out over the space of a couple of hours.”
- “It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget to arrange someone who can create graphical assets properly, or lack of talent; regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low, enough on its own to deter gamers.”
- “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
