The game's story is largely criticized for being poorly written, disjointed, and lacking depth, with many reviewers noting its descent into silliness and cliché as it progresses. While some elements show potential, such as interesting characters and a decent premise, the overall execution is marred by bad translation, weak dialogue, and a linear plot that fails to engage players. The combination of frustrating gameplay mechanics and a lack of coherent storytelling leaves many feeling disappointed.
- “In terms of the story and characters, the story starts out okay but does get a bit silly - it seems very much aimed to be like a B-movie, but some of the developments at later stages get pretty weird and out of place compared to the tone for the first half of the game.”
- “Overall then a decent hidden object game with a few flaws, but also a bit different from the standard for the genre, with a decent if somewhat strange storyline.”
- “The story is interesting but I feel that more should have been developed.”
- “Since the game up to this point had been a pointless pixel hunt for things I seldom understood I needed from the actual told story, I saw no need to play through that first half again only to be rewarded with more nonsense.”
- “The plot wavers between cliched, nonsensical, and barely existent.”
- “I managed to play and finish the game, but the story was horribly written and the music was terrible.”

The graphics in the game are generally praised for being decent and enhancing the hidden object gameplay, though some players noted issues with miscolored or overly small objects that can be difficult to see, even on large screens. While the visuals contribute positively to the experience, frustrations arise from the inability to revisit clues and the occasional need for zooming in on small items. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong point, but not without their drawbacks.
- “This is an okay HOG; the graphics are pretty decent for the genre, and this helps make the HOG scenes much more fun to play than some others. Although there is a zoom function provided, which probably indicates that some items are very small on the screen, that isn't overused. Most items are hidden in reasonably logical positions, rather than scattered around randomly in impossible or unlikely spots.”
- “Despite the good visuals, the good plot, and the music, I'm kinda frustrated by that game.”
- “Graphics are okay; sound is a little off the beaten track.”
- “Graphics were either miscolored or so small I couldn't see the objects using a high-def 50-inch screen.”
- “Graphics are pretty decent for the genre, but the zoom function suggests that some items are very small on the screen.”
- “Graphics are okay, but the sound is a little off the beaten track.”

While puzzles and hidden object scenes function adequately, overall progression is hampered by a lack of clarity and direction. This results in a frustrating experience where players often feel lost and unsure of what to do next.
- “Game mechanics were a bit iffy - the puzzles and hidden object scenes worked just fine, but progressing was slightly difficult as it was hard to know what to do or what you could pick up.”
- “Most of the gameplay involves the player trying to figure out what they are supposed to be doing as a result of bad gameplay design and clunky gameplay mechanisms.”
- “The story and characters are as flaccid as overcooked pasta; the gameplay is even worse.”
