The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the beautiful and atmospheric visuals that enhance the gameplay experience, while others feel the graphics appear outdated, reminiscent of early 2000s titles. Despite the criticisms, many users noted the attention to detail in the environments and the overall artistic design, which contributes positively to the game's immersive quality. Overall, while the graphics may not be cutting-edge, they are often described as stunning and well-suited to the game's aesthetic.
“However, what carried me through was the beautiful graphics, including the speculative biology of the alien planet, plant life, skies, architecture, and the storyline.”
“The visuals are stunning.”
“You can see that the graphic designer has put in a lot of work.”
“The graphics seem poor for a game of this age (looks 10+ years older than it is) - the walking is painfully slow (and there is a lot of it) - I never felt immersed in it like you get from the Myst series or even Quern.”
“Graphics look like it's from the 2000s.”
“None of the options to decrease graphics quality seem to work.”

The story has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it unoriginal, convoluted, and poorly written, often describing it as lacking depth and coherence. While some appreciated the unique themes and graphics, others criticized the dialogue and character development, leading to an overall sentiment that the narrative fails to engage or connect with the gameplay. Players seeking a compelling story may find this game disappointing, as it often feels disconnected from the puzzles and overall experience.
“However, what carried me through was the beautiful graphics, including the speculative biology of the alien planet, plant life, skies, architecture, and the storyline.”
“I loved the game; good story, very good graphics, and the music was pleasant.”
“This narrative device creates a nice motivation for driving the story of the game.”
“The story is garbage fire: it's ridiculous, the writing is plain bad, sometimes even nonsensical to the levels of 'I'm 14, and this is deep', characters are bland, and voice acting is nonexistent.”
“If you are looking for an at least somewhat convincing story and world building, maybe skip this one.”
“Having watched the final piece to the mystery, I can say overall the story was just as disappointing as its ending.”

The grinding aspect of the game is characterized by frustratingly difficult puzzles that often require repetitive attempts to solve, leading to a tedious experience. Many players find the puzzles convoluted and nonsensical, with some levels designed to unnecessarily prolong the solving process. While some early levels are manageable, later challenges tend to rely on guesswork and excessive trial-and-error, detracting from overall enjoyment.
“The first three levels were achievable without any outside help, but from the fourth level, some of the puzzles were nearly impossible to figure out without going through every possible combination, which is tedious.”
“Nonsensical and tedious puzzles that will only frustrate you.”
“At some point, it becomes apparent that they are even designed in such a way that requires you to spend more time to solve — if you need to compare things, they are far from one another; if you misclick on a state-based puzzle, it requires a lot of unnecessary tedious steps to return to the state; if you need to see something spatial, you'll need to run all around the place to have a good view of it.”

The gameplay is characterized as easy and linear, resembling a Myst-like experience with point-and-click mechanics across seven levels. However, players find the puzzles to be mechanical and disconnected from the story, with suggestions for improved usability and smoother controls to enhance the overall experience. Many feel that better testing could have led to more logical puzzles and hints, resulting in a more cohesive gameplay experience.
“The gameplay is easy, point and click, and solve puzzles as you go.”
“Myst-like game with linear gameplay, 7 levels, and a somewhat weird story.”
“This really slows down getting around some of the puzzles; improving the controllability would make the gameplay much smoother.”
“This does not have any gameplay implications whatsoever, which seems like a missed opportunity.”
“The puzzles seem so mechanical and not cohesive with the story.”
“If more usability testing had been done, I think the puzzles and their hints would have been more logical, which would have made them more fluid and the gameplay would have worked so much better.”

The music in the game is frequently praised for its atmospheric quality, with many players noting how it enhances the alien visuals and overall experience. While some describe it as memorable and exciting, others find it merely acceptable, highlighting a mix of surreal synthetic sounds that contribute to the game's unique identity. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a significant element that complements the game's graphics and narrative.
“It's rare to be able to say that music this atmospheric is 'memorable', but I repeatedly found myself feeling excited when certain parts of tracks would play, zoning out to these surreal synthetic sounds that really helped sell the alien visuals too.”
“All the glorious visuals and ambient sounds and music and goofy characters !!!!!”
“It feels alien because of the odd sounds and bizarre soundtrack, but it sets the game apart from most others.”
“The music was ok.”
“All the glorious visuals and ambient sounds and music and goofy characters !!!!!!!”

The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its memorable and immersive music, which complements the stunning graphics and surreal alien visuals. However, some players feel that the presence of NPCs disrupts the intended solitary atmosphere typical of puzzle games, creating a contrast that may detract from the overall experience.
“It's rare to be able to say that music this atmospheric is 'memorable', but I repeatedly found myself feeling excited when certain parts of tracks would play, zoning out to these surreal synthetic sounds that really helped sell the alien visuals too.”
“Beautiful graphics and atmosphere.”
“NPCs like these don't belong in a puzzle game, in my opinion, as the atmosphere is different from being all alone in a place filled with puzzles to solve.”
“Since I played with the story off, I won't comment on that, but it seems almost amusingly contrasting from the atmosphere of the rest of the game from what I've peeked at.”
“Also, even with a different composer, the music still created the very distinct atmosphere those games had for me.”
