Many players noted the visuals as a standout feature, describing them as stunning and immersive, although some pointed out minor graphical glitches and inconsistencies in detail.

- “The attention to detail is incredible, with lifelike graphics and authentic medical tools making each autopsy feel real.”
- “Tragically bad, besides the graphics and the factual parts of the autopsies, coming from an expert.”
- “Sometimes it's really wonky, to be honest. The autopsies in themselves look good, but I am just not convinced about the rest - the blood on the knife and these small details look not as good as the rest of the game, and they don't change too much. It's really hard for me not to notice this, and somehow it drags down the graphics a lot.”
- “While the graphics were undoubtedly a standout feature, with meticulous attention to detail, they failed to salvage the overall experience.”

Infrasound (the natural creepiness of mortuary labs and perceived silence) would have done wonders for this game, I swear. Strange noises and more discreet hallucinations would have enhanced the experience.”
- “Not scary and devoid of atmosphere.”
