The graphics are noted for their effective use of lighting and visuals, which create a sense of paranoia and enhance the overall mood of the game. The design is minimal yet impactful, contributing significantly to the immersive experience.
“The lighting and visuals are deceptively tailored to always bring paranoia to the player and rely on minimal sound design for effective mood setting.”
“The graphics feel outdated and lack the detail expected from modern games.”
“Character models are poorly designed and lack any real depth or personality.”
“The environments are bland and uninspired, making exploration feel tedious.”
