Overall, the graphics received mixed reviews, with some players praising their aesthetic appeal and unique styles, such as beautifully flowing water and minimalistic designs.

- “Hello fellow readers... it blew, but there were still a few good parts to this game; for instance, the graphics are great, very aesthetically pleasing (water flowed beautifully 10/10).”
- “Simple and short PNC F2P adventure with interesting 3D voxel graphics.”
- “The graphics are bothersome in all areas, and the mood is just awful, making you feel like you're the bad guy the entire time as this faceless character keeps bothering you.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including a lack of a save feature that forces players to restart after glitches or poor choices. Additionally, visual glitches, such as a persistent light effect that expands and obstructs the screen, further detract from the overall experience.
- “There is no save feature, so if something glitches (which does happen) or you pick the wrong conversation choice, you have to start all over.”
- “If I look at that light, it glitches, gets larger, and becomes a persistent glitch covering most of the screen.”
