The graphics of the game are characterized by a nostalgic retro PS1 aesthetic that enhances the overall experience, providing an interesting visual style without being overwhelming. While some elements, like flashing graphics during chase scenes, may pose minor issues, the visuals contribute positively to the game's engaging story development and unexpected twists. Overall, players appreciate the unique and eye-friendly graphics, especially given the game's free title status.
“It has more interesting graphics (that do not hurt your eyes) and way better story development despite being a free title and having a silly premise.”
“Loving the PS1 aesthetic for this, feels kinda nostalgic.”
“When you find out the soup store has no soup, you meet the monster and get transported to the soup dimension. This is a chase scene that's super easy; you walk forward in the same environment for a little bit. The only obstacle here are the graphics flashing when you start running, so a little warning for that.”
“A fun little horror game with plenty of unexpected twists with its multiple endings and a retro PS1 aesthetic.”

The game's story features a unique horror premise set in visually striking environments, including a challenging final area that some players found overwhelming. While the narrative development is praised, particularly in comparison to other free titles, the overall experience can be hindered by frustrating gameplay elements.
“Game is one of those derpy style of games where it's picking a topic and building a horror story around it.”
“Some story stuff happens and you get to the final area, which is a red forest with red rain. This area really hurt my eyes after a bit. I really tried giving it an honest go, but the area is huge, and after dying a couple of times, I gave up on it.”
