The game's story is a surreal and abstract narrative that emphasizes exploration and interaction, lasting around three hours. While some players appreciate its complexity and unique art style, others criticize its convoluted plot and poor pacing, noting that the storytelling relies heavily on dialog boxes, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these issues, many find the story engaging and worth experiencing, particularly for fans of cyberpunk themes.
- “This game is less of a game and more of a narrative story where the only goals are to walk from place to place and interact with objects and/or people (or robots or cyborgs...).”
- “It lasts about three hours or so, it's got a good story, and you can see how much work went into this.”
- “For starters, the story is bad and is told in one of the worst ways possible.”
- “It’s a complex plot with plenty of twists and turns through the tropes of cyberpunk, but you get everything fed to you through dialog boxes, including dramatic reveals and startling deaths.”
- “The plot has real problems.”

The graphics of the game are a mixed bag, featuring low-poly art that some find charming and immersive, while others criticize the overall quality as poor and inconsistent. The stylized design choices, reminiscent of 80s aesthetics, add a unique flair, but technical issues like choppy performance and poorly executed text-boxes detract from the experience. Despite these flaws, the developers' effort in hand-drawn elements and world-building is evident and appreciated by some players.
- “It's beautiful from inside a pair of goggles if you ever get the chance; despite the low-poly art style, it is surprisingly immersive.”
- “It did take me some time to get adjusted to the art style, but it really does suit the story and the overall feel of the game.”
- “Overall though, I liked Chronicles of Cyberpunk, especially aesthetically where it really shines, and in the heart of the game which can come through in the developers' obvious love and care for the game they have made.”
- “Most of the graphics are terrible, but some of them are these really cool little sketches that obviously have some effort behind them, and that was charming.”
- “Visually, the game is just plain weird, and as far as text and visuals go, it looks bad.”
- “Despite the simple polygonal graphics, it runs really choppy, with constant animation hiccups.”

The game's humor is characterized by its absurd and nonsensical elements, featuring quirky architecture and comical characters who engage in bizarre, philosophical debates reminiscent of poorly translated tweets. This blend of surrealism and wit adds a unique charm to the otherwise flat landscapes.
