    The game's story is generally appreciated for its emotional depth and engaging voice acting, though some players find the plot confusing and lacking direction. While it offers a thought-provoking narrative experience, it is primarily a short, linear storytelling game with limited interactivity. Overall, players express a desire for a longer, more cohesive story in future installments.

    • “Hi, I played the game & I gotta say I was moved by the story.”
    • “I recommend this game, it is fun and short and it is an interesting story.”
    • “The premise is confusing but does have some form of a plot, consisting mostly of walking and listening to narrative bits with one interactive element.”
    • “The story doesn't make sense in my mind; it has you collecting money the whole time for no purpose, and then you pick up a gun that you use once and carry around for no other reason.”
    • “The thing this game lacks, compared to Mario 64, is a trackable plot or point.”
  • graphics7 mentions

    The graphics in the game received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing them as "atrocious" and poorly designed, while others found them appealing and fitting for the game's relaxed atmosphere. Overall, the visuals seem to be a significant drawback for many, overshadowing the positive aspects of the gameplay experience.

    • “I loved this game! It was super relaxing after playing a super frustrating platformer. It flows naturally, the graphics are dope, it's short but that's fine; it's a nice experience. The voiceover is on point too; the lady's voice is very soothing and easy to understand, which can be rare sometimes in video game narration.”
    • “Some really bad graphics and game design.”
    • “I know the game isn't meant to be taken seriously and there's more to games than just graphics, but man, were the graphics in this game atrocious.”
