The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some praising its quality while others find it overwhelmingly loud and intrusive, lacking proper control options. Players express frustration over the inability to adjust the volume effectively, leading to a negative overall experience despite some appreciation for the soundtrack itself.
“The music is very good in my opinion and sadly that is the most positive thing about this game so far.”
“Its soundtrack is so abysmal that even after you try to turn it off, it defiantly blares back on after a while, as if mocking your futile attempt to escape its auditory torment.”
“No music control slider... this is one of the major put-offs for me as it's far too loud, even with the sound turned down to the minimum.”
“Yes, I know the music is directional and source-based, but it's still crazy.”

The graphics in the game are considered mediocre, with users noting that the models are acceptable but the animations are limited and jerky, particularly during sex scenes. There are concerns about the game's performance, as it struggles to render content efficiently, leading to issues like getting stuck in the environment. Overall, while there is potential for improvement, the current graphical execution leaves much to be desired.
“The graphics are visually appealing and create an immersive experience.”
“The art style is vibrant and adds a unique charm to the game.”
“The character designs are detailed and well-crafted, enhancing the overall aesthetic.”
“The graphics are jerky, the sex scenes are little more than a five-frame loop, and you can get stuck in places (fortunately, the escape key managed to get me out).”
“The models are okay, but the camera needs a bit more work on panning and zooming sensitivity. The main issue at the moment is the lack of content and how graphically demanding the game is for the content it has; maybe divide loading areas so it doesn't try to render the whole thing at once.”
“Graphically demanding for such little content, at least in the first 'level'.”
