The graphics in the game are described as generally acceptable, featuring realistic visuals and a well-produced introductory video that highlights a beautiful world. However, players have criticized the poor optimization, limited graphics options, and subpar animations, which detract from the overall experience. Additionally, issues like motion blur have caused discomfort for some users, further complicating the graphical experience.
“The introductory video is well produced using mostly in-game graphics, showcasing the lush, beautiful world and the equally beautiful Sarah.”
“The graphics are realistic.”
“Horrible optimization; the graphics settings would not work for me, and the motion blur made it so awful that I got motion sick within a few minutes. Lucky really, because without food or water, that's how long 'Sarah' stays alive for.”
“Very few options to choose from in the graphics and sound menu.”
“Graphically it is okay, but the gameplay, mechanics, and the world are just a mess.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, frequently freezing during gameplay, including on the initial screen and while performing actions like chopping trees. While it is currently in early access and may be worth purchasing at a low price, players should be prepared for a buggy experience.
“Game freezes up on the first screen.”
“If you are lucky and can buy the game for under $5, then I would say buy it. It is early access and really buggy, even for an early access game.”
“I will start chopping a tree and all of a sudden, the game freezes for about twenty seconds and then goes on.”

The game's story is currently lacking direction and depth, with players noting that it feels underdeveloped after several hours of exploration. While there is potential for an interesting narrative involving the character Sarah, it remains to be seen how it will be integrated into the gameplay, leaving players frustrated in the meantime.
“In its current state, from what I've seen after a few hours of running around, none of that really matters yet, but it sets the scene for what might one day be an interesting story, anyway.”
“No direction or story.”
“I suspect at some point there will be a story woven into this, too, allowing us to somehow return Sarah to her normal world, but at the moment exploration is as frustrating as most of the other elements in the game.”
