The visual style is stunning, bringing Salvador Dali's surreal art to life in an immersive way.
The experience is unique and captivating, allowing players to explore a Dali painting in a new dimension.
It's a free experience that offers a brief but interesting glimpse into the mind of one of the greatest artists.

The gameplay is very limited, with no meaningful interaction or game mechanics, making it feel more like an art exhibit than a game.
Navigation can be frustrating, as it relies on gaze-based teleportation, which some players found cumbersome.
The experience is quite short, leaving many players wanting more content and additional artworks to explore.

The graphics received mixed reviews, with some praising their surreal and striking quality, particularly in relation to Dali's art, while others criticized them as lackluster and lacking interactivity. Overall, the visuals are described as superb in certain contexts, but the limited movement and environment detract from the experience for some users.
- “Graphics are superb! I can't imagine how good this would look at a higher resolution. It's an amazing experience that is truly eerie and a bit creepy, but totally awesome :)”
- “Surreal - but then again, that is Dali. Striking visuals and really quite the experience! I like the way the navigation works; just look at something and you are transported to it.”
- “Not a game, but the graphics, sound, and environment were superb.”
- “It should drop the plural from its name, because it's just a singular environment with lackluster visuals, no free movement (you can teleport between pre-set points by looking at them), no interactivity, nothing.”
- “Graphics were, umm... subpar?”
