The game's story is a playful and humorous take on the "christory," appealing primarily to fans familiar with the source material. While it features creative liberties and a unique blend of retro adventure and action, the narrative lacks depth and may not resonate with those outside its niche audience. Overall, it offers an enjoyable experience for followers of the lore, though it may not be recommended as a standalone artistic work.

- “This game is a neat little romp, but I can't really say I'd recommend it for those not aware of Christory.”
- “The stealth situations in the video are even less exciting in the actual game; the Sonic clone game lacks a lot of control issues and the message of the story wasn't that deep, so I can't even recommend it as some kind of artwork.”

The graphics of the game are described as simplistic and reminiscent of old Pokémon games, which some reviewers appreciate for their thematic relevance to the character's worldview. However, many find the visuals lacking in depth and excitement, with a bland aesthetic that fails to elevate the overall experience. Overall, the game's art style and design are seen as a reflection of its narrative, but they do not compensate for its shortcomings in gameplay and storytelling.

- “The basic level design and simple art style, heavily inspired by the old Pokémon games, feel analogous to how the character sees the world, but the clunky mechanics and lack of depth in visuals are disappointing.”
