Overall, the graphical quality is considered subpar and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “Few things wrong with the game such as max graphics is just a fuzzy screen and makes it look pretty bad no matter what setting you're on. The computer Xpower Z1 (highest priced computer) glitches the game and new deliveries do not come in anymore. Sometimes the game glitches and I can't pick up new deliveries/items in store or shelves to move around.”
- “This game has janky graphics that stutter no matter what settings you select. You aren't given any type of clue as to what you are to do. However, it didn't take me long to work it out. Soon after collecting my first shelf and placing it, I went to turn on the computer (after finding the electricity box) and ordered a few items. I went to put these items onto the shelf, but I was unable to interact with anything in the inventory; I couldn't even click 'auto-fill' to move things to my hand.”
