The graphics are praised for their unique art style, fitting the game's comedic and quirky theme well, with many noting impressive visuals given the small development team. However, poor graphic optimization and lack of adjustable settings cause performance issues on less powerful PCs, impacting gameplay experience. Overall, the visuals are considered a strong point despite technical setbacks.

- “Great game with oddly impressive graphics for how small their team is.”

- “I couldn't get much gameplay due to the bug and poor graphic optimization, but from what I had it was exactly what I hoped for.”
