The game's graphics are characterized by an artistic style rather than realism, which some players found lacking in magic and engagement. While the visuals are decent and enhanced by thematic elements like motivational quatrains, the overall experience feels robotic and disconnected, particularly due to the absence of controller support.
“This game is decent in the fact that it has good graphics and is covered in scrolls containing motivational quatrains.”
“The visuals lacked the magic; the gameplay was a VR snooze-fest, and the MMO aspect felt more like a solo stroll through a deserted forest.”
“The visuals are not at all realistic, but more artistic.”

“Interesting game, I found it very relaxing thanks to a mix of very nice landscapes and a wisely selected soundtrack.”
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”

Reviewers express skepticism about the game's monetization practices, suggesting that while there is no concrete evidence of exploitation, the overall quality resembles that of asset flips or cash grabs, raising concerns about its value and integrity.
“There's no evidence, so we need to give the benefit of the doubt... regardless, asset flip or not, the quality here is indistinguishable from many asset flip/cash grab scams, and that's a problem in itself.”

The gameplay has been criticized for being dull and uninspired, with a lack of engaging visuals and a multiplayer experience that feels more like a solitary journey rather than an interactive MMO environment.
“The visuals lacked the magic, the gameplay was a VR snooze-fest, and the MMO aspect felt more like a solo stroll through a deserted forest.”
