The game features beautiful pixel-art graphics and a unique two-color palette that enhances its atmospheric tone.
The music is wonderful and significantly adds to the overall experience, creating an emotional backdrop for the story.
Despite its short length, the game manages to capture urgency and offers a fun puzzle-like experience as players navigate through the narrative.

The story is very short and lacks depth, with characters not being fleshed out enough to create a meaningful connection.
The writing feels utilitarian and clunky, making conversations flow unnaturally and detracting from the overall narrative experience.
The repetitive nature of the gameplay, due to the time-loop mechanic, can become tedious, and the lack of significant plot development leaves players wanting more.

The story is generally perceived as short and lacking depth, with many reviewers expressing a desire for more character development and a more engaging narrative. While the aesthetic and music are praised, the plot is criticized for being surface-level and not evoking strong emotions or deeper meanings. Overall, the game is seen as needing more risk-taking and detail to enhance the storytelling experience.
- “It has some dark vibes, so I thought the plot would go interesting places, but there are only a few characters, and not one of them is explored in any meaningful capacity.”
- “I do think you would benefit from taking more risks with the story. It's okay to have a simple plot sometimes, but if you take no risks, there is no reward.”
- “I am not even trying to nitpick the story; you could keep it the way it is, but you just need more time with the characters. Give them a bit more background or just add a few layers to the plot leading up to the ending.”
- “The story is very short and surface-level; I would have liked it if at least the two main characters were fleshed out a bit more.”
- “I would not say it's a badly made graphic adventure, but there was just not enough of a kick to the narrative. If there was some hidden meaning behind it, I don't think it translated on my end. I felt the story was just too primitive.”
- “It's not a bad game, but the story just didn't have enough of a kick to it. Sometimes you can get away with something simple, but even then, I think you need to provide more details for the reader to care about the plot.”

The graphics are praised for their unique art style and beautiful pixel-art aesthetics, which contribute to the game's atmospheric experience. However, some reviewers feel that the chosen aesthetic does not align well with the narrative, and the lack of engaging scenes limits exploration opportunities. Overall, while the visuals are well-received, they are seen as needing stronger integration with a more compelling story.
- “I really like the art style and color palette; atmospherically it fits really well, and the map mechanic and time-loop concept prove that this developer is able to be a bit creative and unique.”
- “Short but incredibly atmospheric game with amazing music and beautiful pixel-art graphics.”
- “Also, this game is for you if you are a fan of retro aesthetics.”
- “I would not say it's a badly made graphic adventure, but there was just not enough of a kick to the narrative. If there was some hidden meaning behind it, I don't think it translated on my end. I am not sure if it's just lack of experience, but I felt the story was just too primitive.”
- “I didn't mind the visuals, but the actual scenes didn't have much going on in them. I don't think that you made it very compelling to explore. I think you need to give yourself more opportunities to create interesting imagery in the game.”
- “Short, the music is wonderful and adds to the experience tenfold. The graphics are unique and the aesthetic is nice, although I don't get why that aesthetic was chosen for this sort of story. The interesting story seems to lack any type of deeper meaning and did not evoke the emotion of the game.”

The music in the game is widely praised for its atmospheric quality and ability to enhance the overall experience, with many noting its beautiful and moody composition. However, some reviewers suggest that the game could benefit from more variety in the soundtrack, recommending adjustments like tempo changes or different tracks to better complement various scenes. Overall, while the music is a highlight, there is room for improvement in its implementation throughout the game.
- “Short but incredibly atmospheric game with amazing music and beautiful pixel-art graphics.”
- “It's short, the graphics are really good, the music fits well, the narrative isn't too deep, but I think for its length it's okay.”
- “While I do think you picked a decently moody song for the game, I would recommend thinking about game music in a form of manipulation and complementing the scene instead of playing the same song throughout the game. You could try slowing it down or slightly modifying it for different locations, or perhaps even changing it entirely if the dialogue calls for silence or something more subtle and atmospheric.”
- “For music, even if you have one song, you could try slowing down or changing the pitch a little between different locations.”
