- “- interesting story with some surprises; there are also many notes or emails which enrich the story, for example, a love affair plot.”
- “This game isn't without its flaws, most notably a thin, clichéd story in dreadful English, terrible voice acting, extreme linearity, mindless puzzles, and a superfluous leveling and skills system.”

The graphics of the game are reminiscent of early 90s titles but enhanced with modern improvements, making it visually appealing for a strategic puzzle game. While the use of the Unity engine results in typical graphics, the developers have effectively created a compelling atmosphere that somewhat overcomes the usual coldness associated with the engine, despite some minor graphical shortcomings.
- “Add improved graphics and an upgraded interface on top of that, and it may even become good enough to be a standalone strategic puzzle game.”

- “Graphics are your typical Unity engine graphics, but Lemuria: Lost in Space's developers made very good use of the engine.”
