The game's graphics feature a creative, Limbo-inspired grayscale art style that creates a distinctive atmosphere, though some may find it limited and unpolished. However, the RPG Maker engine's lack of Full HD support and graphics customization options can disappoint modern PC gamers seeking higher-quality visuals.
- “The graphics are very neat and the atmosphere is very Limbo-esque.”
- “The art style reminds me of Limbo.”
- “The graphics are fine if you like this style.”
- “As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any true graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”
- “It's like a shorter Limbo. You'll hear phrases like that a lot in regards to this game (and pretty much any platformer with puzzles whose graphics are mostly grayscale).”
- “The graphics are fine if you like this style, but overall lack enhancement or polish.”

- “A decent atmosphere and setting with some interesting looking characters.”
- “I loved the classical music and black-and-white atmosphere as well.”
