The game's story is largely criticized for being minimal and poorly executed, with many reviewers noting that it consists of brief snippets between levels that lack depth and coherence. While some appreciate the integration of a familiar tale, such as "Beauty and the Beast," others feel it fails to enhance the gameplay experience, leaving it feeling disjointed and lacking in engagement. Overall, the narrative aspect is seen as a weak point, with many players desiring a more substantial and well-rounded story.
“This game has a storyline, which it tells you in snippets in between the hidden objects.”
“Story of this game will not let you get bored.”
“Each scene is preceded or followed by a snippet of the story of Beauty and the Beast, which makes it an unobtrusive way to tell the story while not making the game slow if what you're really interested in is the gaming.”
“There is no story.”
“There is a barebones 'story' (if you can even call it that) that makes no sense and is riddled with linguistic errors.”
“As for any sort of story; there is just a single sentence between levels.”

The graphics in the game are a mixed bag; while many users appreciate the beautiful artwork and clever placement of hidden objects, there are significant complaints about blotchy and misaligned graphics that detract from the overall experience. Some scenes feature noticeable flaws, such as poorly repeated floor tiles and cut-and-paste areas, leading to a consensus that the graphics could benefit from higher resolution and better alignment. Overall, the aesthetics are praised, but technical issues prevent the graphics from reaching their full potential.
“With pretty artwork for each hidden object scene.”
“As with all games of these types, the artwork is beautiful and the hidden objects are cleverly placed.”
“It has beautiful graphics and some levels do have the panoramic view.”
“Some scenes contained patches with misaligned graphics: e.g. floor tiles are not properly repeated and you can see where they are 'cut off'; there is suddenly a square area that was most obviously cut and pasted into the scene, etc.”
“They could have at least fixed the multiple misaligned graphics but they didn't even bother.”
“Overall I thought the graphics were sub-par -- they could certainly use higher resolution versions of things.”

“All this is accompanied by pleasant and soothing music.”
“All levels in the game are very colorful and interesting; the music is also beautiful.”
“Music is way too repetitive; there are only a few locations.”
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”

Replayability is limited, as players can aim for higher scores, but the experience ultimately feels repetitive and akin to a memory game.
“As for replayability, you can go for a higher score, but it's really just a memory game at that point.”
