The graphics feature beautifully rendered classical Chinese paintings, showcasing delicate colors and brush strokes, which create a relaxing atmosphere. However, some players feel that the cats, while properly designed, are not seamlessly integrated into the artwork, making them difficult to spot at times. Overall, the visuals are appreciated for their artistic quality, but there is a call for better integration of the cats within the scenes.
