The graphics of the game are generally considered passable, with a unique "pop-up book" art style that many players appreciate for its charm and smooth execution. While the visuals are enjoyable, they are not deemed top-tier, and some reviewers feel that the overall experience could benefit from improved graphics to match the gameplay. Despite these shortcomings, the game's cute aesthetic and interesting presentation contribute to its appeal.
“The pop-up book graphical style works very well and smoothly, and the voice-over by the female lead, in particular, is excellent and entertaining.”
“The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better.”

The gameplay is generally viewed as average, characterized by classic point-and-click mechanics and a simple story; however, it features a surprising ending with a clever fourth wall twist that enhances the overall experience. Despite this, the game struggles to meet the expectations of top-tier gameplay alongside its visuals.
“At first I thought it was just going to be the average experience, simple story, classic point & click gameplay, but the ending was a really nice surprise that explains some odd things happening in the game with an awesome fourth wall plot twist!”
