The graphics in the game are generally described as mediocre or simple, with some players finding them unremarkable and a potential deterrent for gamers. However, others appreciate the charming and colorful voxel style, which enhances the puzzle experience and allows players to focus on gameplay rather than the environment. Overall, while the visuals may not be groundbreaking, they serve their purpose in creating an engaging atmosphere.
- “The graphics are pleasant and are intentionally left simple so you can focus on the puzzles more than the environment, but they do serve to enhance the puzzle experience.”
- “With an isometric view and beautiful and charming graphics, pay attention to the hints given by the mother notes, discover the past of the family, and discover your present.”
- “[b]Colorful voxel graphics[/b] (think Minecraft, everything's made up of cubes), soothing music (though it's not very long and tends to go silent a lot), all the necessary settings (separate volume sliders, resolutions, windowed mode).”
- “This has some really mediocre looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost.”
- “The graphics are okay, nothing remarkable to note, the music is the same and loops but sometimes stops entirely until you've passed through a room or two, so no music to listen to and there aren't any interaction noises either.”
- “I was drawn to Kili's Treasure because the room reminded me a bit of Kind Words (my favorite game from last year), and the graphical style reminded me of Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle, a game I thought was visually appealing (although I didn't enjoy playing it).”
