    The game's graphics, characterized by a charming PS1 aesthetic and low poly design, have garnered appreciation for their relaxing exploration potential. However, many players express disappointment over the limited content, feeling that the visuals alone cannot justify the short gameplay experience. Overall, while the aesthetic is loved, it is seen as insufficient without more substantial exploration opportunities.

    • “+ low poly graphics, relaxing exploration.”
    • “I love the genre, I like the idea, and I enjoy that kind of aesthetic.”
    • “Considering that the aesthetic is made out of PS1 themed graphics, I don't understand why it has so little content. Of all 3D genres, you have the liberty of making content that does not need to look good to be enjoyable.”
