While some players appreciate the unique art style and atmosphere, the overall quality does not meet the expectations of PC gamers accustomed to more visually impressive titles.

- “It's objectively not a very good game, even by flash game standards, but it's just unique enough in its art style for me to feel confident in my purchase.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”

- “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
