The graphics of the game are generally well-received, featuring a nice art style with a sombre, sketchy aesthetic and a minimal color palette of greys and browns. While some players appreciate the pleasant visuals that complement the gameplay, others have noted technical issues that detract from the overall experience.
“The graphics were nice, and I really enjoyed them.”
“It is a short game, taking mere minutes to complete, but it provides a satisfying little logic puzzle and pleasant aesthetics, making it perfect to enjoy during a short break or with a cup of tea.”
“Game mechanics are simple and the graphics are too.”
“The art style has a slightly somber, sketchy feel to it and uses a minimal color palette dominated by greys and browns.”
“Hated it; I didn't mind the concept or the graphics, but the behavior on my PC for those drawers drove me nuts (pull too much and they auto-close) so I had to pull them about halfway for the 'mechanics' to work properly and then execute the right 'combination/sequence' to reach the solution.”

The gameplay is criticized for its simplicity and minimal depth, with most players completing it in under a minute, which many found overly optimistic. Users reported frustrating mechanics, particularly with drawer interactions, which detracted from the overall experience.

“Overall, it's less than 1 minute of gameplay (2 minutes if you're really slow), and I feel that the dev's 'less than five minutes' time was a bit overly optimistic.”
“The gameplay depth is minimal to none; the whole thing could have been done in Flash.”

The humor in the game is described as absurd and often offensive, with some players finding its ridiculousness both amusing and addictive. The unconventional subject matter and the sheer existence of the game elicit laughter, despite its potentially problematic content. Overall, the humor is polarizing, appealing to those who appreciate its bizarre and irreverent style.
“It's so stupid, pointless, and annoying that it bounces around to being funny.”
“I don't know... but the fact that someone made a game like this, about this subject matter, and then posted it to Steam is hilarious to me, and I'm glad it exists.”

The game lacks a narrative, which some players found disappointing; however, they appreciated the challenging puzzles and expressed hope that future developments could incorporate a compelling storyline to enhance the overall experience.

“The story was engaging and kept me invested throughout the game. I loved how the narrative unfolded and the depth of the characters.”
“I was captivated by the storyline; it was rich and immersive, making me feel connected to the characters and their journeys.”

The game lacks background music, which some players feel contributes to an oddly quiet atmosphere, despite the presence of immersive sound effects like drawers opening. While the sound effects enhance the experience, the absence of music leaves a noticeable gap in the overall audio landscape.
“The absence of music allows the sound effects, like drawers opening, to create a more immersive experience.”
“It would be nice to have some kind of music playing, as the game feels a bit oddly quiet, even with the sounds of items and drawers.”
“It would be nice to have some kind of music playing, as the game just feels a little oddly quiet, even with the sounds of the items and drawers.”
