The graphics are generally described as beautiful and fitting for a classic game presentation, complemented by pleasant music. However, the lack of extensive graphic settings, limited to resolution and anti-aliasing, and the need to save options each time the game starts, detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the graphics are considered acceptable but could benefit from more customization options.
“Beautiful graphics and pleasant unobtrusive music.”
“Graphics, plot, and everything that we love in the classic presentation of games.”
“There are no graphic settings except resolution and anti-aliasing, and you must save the options each time you start the game in order to set the resolution.”

Gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring forgiving mechanics that cater to less skilled players, though it can present challenges at times. However, the absence of key redefinition and the inability to disable gameplay music are notable drawbacks. Overall, the game world is well-crafted, showcasing significant attention to detail.
“Game mechanics appeared to be very forgiving for unskilled players if utilized smartly (20/10 throwing stones, will throw again :d), and the game world is assembled with a lot of love and attention to detail.”
“Mechanics - challenging sometimes”
“However, there were 2 vital settings that were missing from the game: not being able to redefine keys and unable to disable gameplay music.”
