The game's graphics are characterized by low-quality, low-poly 3D visuals that may deter many players, as there are no quality settings to enhance the experience. While the aesthetic may appeal to fans of low-poly art, the overall visual presentation is mediocre and lacks resolution options, making it less engaging for those who prefer higher-quality graphics. However, the sound design and environmental soundtrack are noted as strong points, potentially enhancing the experience for players who appreciate the game's unique style.
“Great sound design and aesthetically pleasing.”
“This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals, which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably.”
“Resolution and controls are locked; in fact, there's basically no quality settings, so there's no way to improve the mediocre visuals.”
“It's free and will probably eat up an hour if you love low poly graphics and just walking slowly.”
