The game's story revolves around a little robot named Delta who embarks on a quest to rescue his father figure, Joe, after he is kidnapped. While some players appreciate the straightforward and charming narrative, many criticize it for being simplistic, lacking depth, and serving primarily as a backdrop for the puzzles. Overall, the story is seen as short and unfulfilling, with a mix of cute elements and frustrating dialogue that fails to engage players fully.
“The story is about a little robot (Delta) who got saved by a father figure (Joe), and then the father figure gets kidnapped. Delta ventures out into the beautiful world in an attempt to save Joe.”
“A straightforward story gives you purpose and reason to lead your little robot friend across the dystopian wastes.”
“The art design is nice, the story and characters are sweet, and the music is good.”
“I saw many people complain about the lack of story, the easy puzzles, boring dialogue, and I was on the edge of my seat, ready to throw my keyboard in indignation and demand a refund!”
“There's a story, but it is really just an excuse to glue the puzzles together and is ultimately unfulfilling.”
“The plot is as basic as it comes and the dialogue is quirky but the jokes are vanilla.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their exceptional art style, combining painterly visuals with detailed, high-quality aesthetics that enhance the overall experience. Players appreciate the beautiful artwork and the atmospheric elements, such as dust particles, which contribute to the immersive world-building. While the visuals are a standout feature, some users feel that the overall value may not justify the price, suggesting it might be better to purchase on sale.
“The looks, the aesthetic, and the little dust particles when the main character (Delta) stops in his tracks are amazing.”
“One of the standout features of this game is the exceptional art style and world-building.”

The gameplay is criticized for being overly short, with some players completing it in under two hours, and lacking depth, as it primarily revolves around simplistic puzzles and stealth mechanics. While it draws inspiration from modern classics like Machinarium and Samorost, it suffers from a lack of engaging story and dialogue, leaving players wanting more substance.
“There are also enemies to defeat using stealth mechanics.”
“With its mechanics, it reminded me more of modern classics like Machinarium and Samorost, which is a nice departure from the dialogue-heavy titles of the 1990s.”
“The problem is that this game is already short, and the 4-ish hours of gameplay can be cut down to less than two.”
“I don't mean technical issues, but the gameplay itself is pretty lame.”
“Unfortunately, there is no story, no gameplay outside of puzzles, no adventure, and no dialogues (one joke does not count).”
