The game's story receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it silly and enjoyable, particularly appreciating its humor and character development, while others criticize it as boring and poorly executed. The narrative is set in a near-future dystopia, serving as a parody of economic issues and copyright, but many feel it lacks depth and coherence. Overall, while the story has its entertaining moments, it is often overshadowed by its linearity and simplistic presentation.
- “I enjoyed the silly story which seems more and more plausible every time a SOPA or PIPA bill rears an ugly head.”
- “Yes, this game has a lot of problems, but the story makes it even, and I actually enjoyed the characters and the ending. It often made me think of Deponia.”
- “The great fusion is a story set in a near future, where the economic crisis has taken a turn for the worse, making all countries fused into one, where the rich are richer and the poor are poorer.”
- “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.”
- “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.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the hand-drawn style and cartoonish aesthetics that enhance its comedic elements, while others criticize the clarity and overall quality, describing them as rough and blurry. The game features a standard Orwellian aesthetic that serves as a satire on contemporary issues, but the adaptation from mobile to PC shows some limitations in graphical fidelity. Overall, while the artistic direction has its merits, it struggles with clarity and polish.
- “+++ great hand-drawn graphics!”
- “The graphics are cartoonish, reinforcing the comedy settings.”
- “Similar to masterpieces like Monkey Island or Day of the Tentacle, not as good as them of course, but close; the history is very good, really really good, graphics and gameplay similar to old adventures from LucasArts (but with a history and jokes really 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, the 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.”
- “The graphics are cartoonish, reinforcing the comedic settings.”
