The story is presented as an engaging audiobook experience enhanced by 3D visual illustrations that change with the narration, immersing players in a futuristic quest. However, some reviewers found the plot increasingly unbelievable, particularly the protagonist's invincibility, which detracted from the overall enjoyment.

The graphics are generally well-executed and align with the narrative, though some areas reveal a lack of suitable assets. While the visuals are beautifully crafted, they are static and rely on a series of similar 360 images, which may detract from the overall experience. Despite these limitations, the production quality remains consistent and decent throughout the game.
- “The visuals are beautifully done but static, and room scale is not supported.”
- “As the story progresses, the visuals are changed to match the story.”
- “I can look past the graphics being a sequence of similar-looking 360 images, and while quaint, the overall production quality is consistent and decent.”
- “The graphical illustration was done well on the whole and matched the story, with the exception of a few areas where a lack of appropriate assets was apparent.”
- “I can look past the graphics being a sequence of similar-looking 360 images; while quaint, the overall production quality is consistent and decent.”

- “One final touch that would make this really polished would be some audio other than the narrator, maybe even some sort of music to accompany.”
