The graphics of the game are noted for their organized use of AI art, with some visually appealing endings; however, many reviewers feel that the static setting limits the experience. There is a strong desire for a more dynamic graphic adventure format that includes varied locations and immersive dialogue, as the current repetitive scenes detract from the overall enjoyment.
- “(+) The only positive thing I can say is that this AI art feels nicely organized in terms of coloring. The game does not look completely random, and honestly, two of the endings had rather nice-looking visuals.”
- “(+) The visuals in the game are quite appealing, especially in certain endings where the art style really shines.”
- “(+) The graphics are well-executed, with a cohesive color palette that enhances the overall aesthetic of the game.”
- “The biggest thing I didn't like is that I was stuck at the table for each path. If you're doing AI art, you might as well give me more choice-based locations and make it a graphical adventure.”
- “I think it would make a lot more sense if the game had more of a graphic adventure format. Change the scenes from the table with the same characters, visit more locations based on choices, and maybe keep the dialogue a bit more immersive. The writing just has that 'Hatoful Boyfriend' vibe and it's not working for this game.”
