The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their AI-generated artwork, which is described as rough, lifeless, and lacking cohesion, featuring a mishmash of styles that do not fit together. Reviewers note that the visuals appear unfinished and lack the charm and detail typically expected from a game set in an Egyptian theme, leading to a significant disappointment compared to other titles in the genre. Additionally, poor camera controls further detract from the overall visual experience.
“The AI-generated artwork looks rough and lifeless, with backgrounds that lack the detail and charm you'd expect from an Egypt-themed game.”
“Basically very little effort has gone into this game; others have said it is AI-generated, which is quite likely for the main features of the cut-and-paste 'art' work and compares very badly with the hand-drawn artwork of many other find-the-kitty games for the same price.”
“Its AI, it's unfinished; there are like five different art styles that don't fit together.”
