The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players noting poor visuals and buggy interactions, while others appreciate decent optimization and stable performance on high settings. Although the graphics and lighting are not groundbreaking, they effectively contribute to a realistic atmosphere. Overall, the visuals are considered adequate but could benefit from improvements.
“Irec actually does have decent visuals and optimization.”
“Running on my i7 6700k/gtx 1080 rig, I maintained a solid 130-144 fps at all times in 1080p resolution, with graphic settings on high.”
“Played on Linux using Proton, the graphics are a bit poor. Sound was okay, gameplay was okay'ish, and some puzzles were hard to figure out. It's more of a room escape game but not limited to one room.”
“The graphics and lighting are nothing to jump up and down about, but they do help set up a realistic tone and atmosphere for the 40-60 minute duration of this title.”

“There's really no plot at all, and the game has only two short, disappointing endings to boot.”
“Though in reality, that's as much as the developer of this title gives in the way of story; only a handful of e-mails, none relevant to any sort of plot, are found within the actual game.”
