The game's graphics are intentionally minimalist, which enhances focus on gameplay and contributes to a stable performance. While some players appreciate the simplistic art style for its ability to convey emotions effectively, others feel that the lack of background music and more detailed visuals could have elevated the experience further. Overall, the graphics are well-suited to the game's puzzle mechanics and narrative depth.
“The simplified graphics and interface of the game make me focused on interrogating, and of course, it makes the game run very fast and stable.”
“The story is in depth, the art style is also really well done for this type of game, and the price is just perfect!”
“The MSPaint graphics add to the atmosphere, but the lack of any background music throughout the entire game seems odd, especially if you're going to have the characters sing some parts.”
“Entering into trust, keeping them under pressure, forcing them to lie to catch them, very well made. If it wasn't for the minimalist graphics (which, by the way, manage to capture emotions and faces pretty well), it could be worth five times more.”
“More graphics wouldn't have made this game better, and if you're into puzzle games, this will totally keep you entertained.”

The game's MSPaint graphics contribute positively to its atmosphere, creating a unique aesthetic; however, the absence of background music throughout the experience feels like a missed opportunity, especially given the inclusion of character singing.
