The game's story is a surreal and abstract narrative that emphasizes exploration and interaction, lasting about three hours. While some players appreciate its complexity and the effort put into the storytelling, others criticize its convoluted plot and poor pacing, noting that key developments are often delivered through dialog boxes rather than engaging gameplay. Overall, the story elicits mixed reactions, with some finding it fascinating despite its flaws.
- “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, characterized by low-budget, low-poly visuals that some players find charming and immersive, particularly when viewed through VR goggles. While many graphics are deemed poor, the unique and stylized design choices lend an intriguing aesthetic that resonates with the game's themes. However, technical issues like choppy performance and animation hiccups detract from the overall experience.

- “It's beautiful from inside a pair of goggles; despite the low-poly art style, it is surprisingly immersive.”

- “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.”
