The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it disappointing and lacking depth, while others appreciate its humor and classic point-and-click style. Critics note that the plot can be boring and sometimes nonsensical, and the linearity limits player freedom. Overall, while the comic-style storytelling has its charm, many feel it could have been executed with more detail and thought.
“The game is short, so just sit back and enjoy the story!”
“Similarly to those classic gems, this one also uses humor as part of its storytelling.”
“Game is pretty linear and not much freedom to divert from the story, reminds me of the old school Sam and Max: Hit the Road / Leisure Suit Larry (no lusty ladies though) to a degree.”
“I didn't enjoy playing this game for a few reasons: no voice in the game (why??), the animation is very basic and not attractive, and above all - the story is stupid and the end is really disappointing. Seems like a game that was developed without thinking.”
“- boring plot that sometimes makes no sense.”

The graphics received mixed reviews, with some praising the hand-drawn style and its ability to convey a satirical Orwellian aesthetic, while others found the visuals lacking and reminiscent of a mobile adaptation. Overall, the artistic direction is seen as both a strength and a weakness, depending on individual taste.
“It has a pretty standard Orwellian aesthetic, but acts as a satire on current affairs: mainly the financial crisis and increasingly harsh copyright laws, with nods to the refugee crisis, the ever-increasing wealth divide, the importance of art, and the power of money.”
“+++ great hand-drawn graphics!”
“Graphics - good”
“It is now available on the PC - as usual, the adaptation has slightly better graphics, but some gameplay elements and the main menu easily give it away (i.e., you can clearly see it was initially meant for smartphones).”
“I mean, backgrounds look like the first sketch waiting to be finished, and what's more, the graphics style itself changes in the middle of the game.”
“- didn't like the graphics”
