The graphics of the game have received mixed feedback, with some players experiencing significant glitches and performance issues, particularly on specific hardware like the Steam Deck. While the overall aesthetic is appreciated, including a nostalgic nod to old-school visuals, many users noted that the graphical fidelity is inconsistent and can detract from the gameplay experience. Additionally, suggestions for improvements include better dialogue prompts and options for retro graphics modes to enhance immersion.
- “The graphics are good and the music is pretty catchy.”
- “Perhaps add a secret 'Nintendo 64' or '64-bit mode' in the video settings, which would essentially set the resolution to 480p, make it run at 30 fps, and bump the graphics back to legacy (if possible) and enable a classic CRT filter over the top of the video, in order to give it that N64 look!”
- “Also, this is a very minor detail but it adds a bit of flair to the overall old-school aesthetic, especially during the intro and cutscenes.”
- “The game's graphics are now glitched on my hardware and my save file is gone!”
- “Because it's an indie game, it's rather rough around the edges, with graphical glitches and a lot more opportunity to get lost than is ideal.”
- “There are lots of graphical glitches with bits of the world loading and unloading as you turn around or walk across open areas, causing some flicker.”

The game's optimization is criticized for poor performance, often dropping to 480p resolution, particularly on lower-end hardware. While turning off HDR improves graphics on the Steam Deck, the overall experience feels overly optimized for low-end GPUs, suggesting it could benefit from better resource management on more capable systems like the GTX 1060 and above.
- “It seems like it's over-optimized for low-end GPUs and could easily have the whole world in memory on a decent GTX 1060 or better, which is probably most of us by now.”
- “The optimization is impressive, allowing for smooth gameplay even on older hardware.”
- “I appreciate how the game runs efficiently, making it accessible for a wider range of systems.”
- “Turning HDR off fixes the graphics on the deck, but performance, as mentioned above, is very poor and the game resorts to 480p to compensate.”
- “It seems like it's over-optimized for low-end GPUs and could easily have the whole world in memory on a decent GTX 1060+ level hardware, which is probably most of us by now.”
