The graphics are praised for their realism and variety, offering a wide selection of furniture styles from modern to classic. However, some users note limitations typical of mobile ports, such as a simplistic interface, fixed screen resolution, and lower resolution graphical assets compared to other games. Overall, the graphics are considered superior to many similar titles.
“The graphics are very nice and realistic, and the various pieces of furniture to choose from are numerous. You will have a wide choice that ranges between modern, classic, and romantic.”
“The graphics are better than most similar games.”
“As with most mobile ported HOGs, there's a simplistic interface, locked/unchangeable screen resolution, next to no customizability, and somewhat low resolution graphical assets.”

The game lacks a cohesive story, featuring only a series of disconnected hidden object scenes and various minigames like match-3 and mahjong, with no narrative elements or cutscenes to engage players. Those seeking a more story-driven experience with dialogue and integrated achievements will find this game unsatisfactory.
“It's a series of hidden object scenes, alternating with match-3 puzzles, finding pairs, spot-the-differences, and mahjong minigames, without any connection to each other - there is also no story and no cutscenes.”
“If you’re looking for a game that has a story, a point-and-click mechanic, maybe dialogues, steam-integrated achievements (there are only in-game achievements) - then this is not it.”
