The game offers a unique and immersive experience of medieval Paris, allowing players to appreciate the architecture and history of Notre-Dame.
As a free title, it provides a decent educational value and serves as a tribute to the cathedral, showcasing its significance before the fire.
The visuals, while not perfect, capture the grandeur of Notre-Dame and evoke a sense of nostalgia for its historical importance.

The gameplay is limited to a passive experience with no control over movement, making it feel more like a guided tour than an interactive game.
Graphics quality is subpar, with low-resolution textures and a lack of detail that detracts from the overall experience.
The experience is very short, with automatic transitions between scenes that prevent players from fully exploring or engaging with the environment.

The graphics in the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users describing them as poor, pixelated, and reminiscent of outdated titles. The lack of graphical options and the inability to move around detract from the overall experience, leading to a consensus that the visuals feel subpar, akin to mobile games. While some elements, like the design of buildings, show potential, the overall quality significantly hampers enjoyment.
- “The visuals are fine on an original Vive at 150% supersampling.”
- “The idea and the buildings look very nice.”
- “The graphics are so bad here it is mind-boggling.”
- “Also, on the rare occasion when we see NPCs, they are somewhat pixelated (antialiasing would help, but there are no graphics options just to start the game).”
- “Idea is great, but it looks like it was made for mobile phones with very bad graphics.”
