The music in the game is generally well-received, featuring a limited selection of enjoyable tracks that evoke nostalgia, reminiscent of early Final Fantasy music. While the looping of songs can become repetitive, players appreciate the on-screen display of the current track and find the overall atmosphere to be relaxed, though individual preferences may vary.
- “The music is very nice, though some tracks fit better than others and there was some repetition.”
- “It plays some really fantastic throwback music (reminded me a lot of very early Final Fantasy music) and I love that it displays on the screen what the track is!”
- “There are only a few songs, so they loop and I guess it could get annoying that they repeat.”
- “The background music is actually quite relaxed, but like everything, it's purely a matter of taste.”

The game's story is minimal and somewhat confusing, revolving around a mission to save cats and battle an evil tree, but many players feel that a strong narrative isn't necessary for enjoyment. While there are side quests and a developer-provided guide for assistance, the overall plot is considered secondary to the gameplay experience.
- “Short, but entertaining hidden objects game in a 3D world where you need to find cats, complete quests, and battle an evil tree in the lighthouse.”
- “There are also some random side quests too, so be sure to pick up any suspicious objects that might be used later.”
- “So we go into the town on our mission to save the cats!”
- “The story is almost non-existent and quite confusing, but honestly I don't really think this game even needed a story to begin with, but it is there, for what it's worth anyhow.”
- “The story is almost non-existent and quite confusing, but honestly I don't really think this game even needed a story to begin with, but it is there, for what it's worth anyhow.”
- “Short, but entertaining hidden objects game in a 3D world where you need to find cats, complete quests and ... battle an evil tree in the lighthouse?”

The game's optimization has been criticized for long loading times and significant performance issues, leading to frequent stuttering and an overall frustrating experience on lower-end hardware.
- “When I received the game, I looked at it briefly on an office notebook and thought, 'Okay, it looks pretty nice.' However, it took forever to load, and I wasn't able to play due to performance issues; the game kept getting stuck and lagging.”
