    The graphics feature a camcorder-inspired, initially rough aesthetic that reveals considerable texture detail and visual fidelity upon closer inspection. Notably, substantial attention was given to the visuals, and the game runs smoothly on mid-spec hardware even at max settings.

    • “But with more time in the world, it becomes apparent that there is actually a considerable level of visual fidelity to the textures, and it's clear that substantial attention was given towards the graphics.”
    • “I had no issues running this game on max graphics with a mid spec Walmart gaming laptop.”
    • “Graphics: similar to the controls, on the surface, the camcorder-inspired graphics seem kind of rough.”

    Optimization is generally solid, delivering good performance on high-end PCs like those with a 13700k and 4070, though it can be resource-intensive. However, performance on the Steam Deck is less optimal, indicating room for improvement on lower-end hardware.

    • “Overall performance has been good using a 13700k and 4070, although it does use quite a lot of resources.”
    • “Really cool game, performance on Steam Deck is not the best but I'm happy to support and really looking forward to seeing this game's future.”
