The gameplay is characterized by its fun and quirky brewing mechanics, offering a charming job simulation experience with interactive tools and ingredients. However, players note a lack of depth and challenge, with limited replayability and a need for more engaging content and difficulty options. Overall, while the game has a delightful atmosphere and solid mechanics, it requires further development to enhance long-term enjoyment.

- “If you want to be able to pour hours into this game, there needs to be an entire gameplay rework that rewards and incentivizes play.”

Overall, the graphics of the game are praised for their creativity, polish, and immersive atmosphere, particularly in the context of VR.
