    The graphics of the game are criticized for their simplistic, retro 2D style, reminiscent of low-effort flash or mobile games, and lack of resolution options or meaningful graphics tweaks. This approach is seen as inadequate for a PC game, failing to meet the visual standards expected by gamers on the platform.

    • “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
    • “The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 'retro' looking 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort flash/browser games and mobile apps.”
    • “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

    • “The narrative feels disjointed and lacks any real depth, making it hard to care about the characters or their journeys.”
    • “I expected a rich storyline based on the premise, but it turned out to be shallow and unengaging.”
