The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the nice design and retro aesthetic, others criticize the use of low-polygon, untextured visuals as a sign of laziness rather than intentional artistic choice. Overall, the graphics are seen as a blend of appealing elements and shortcomings that detract from the gaming experience.
“Pretty fun game with challenging puzzles and great design and graphics.”
“The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose.' This is not something gamers should have to put up with.”
“The graphics look outdated and lack detail, making the game feel less immersive and engaging.”
“I was disappointed by the low-resolution textures and bland character models; it feels like the developers didn't put in the effort to create a visually appealing experience.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by the unexpected inclusion of an anti-piracy warning in the credits, which adds a comedic twist to the otherwise serious context of legal acknowledgments. This clever touch resonates with players, showcasing the developer's playful approach to serious topics.
“The most hilarious part of this is when you go into the game credits (I did to make sure the developer properly credited the sound assets that legally require it, and yeah, he didn't), the credits include an anti-piracy warning.”
“The dialogue is filled with witty one-liners that had me laughing out loud, especially during the unexpected plot twists.”
“I love how the game breaks the fourth wall with its humor; it feels like the characters are aware they're in a game, and their jokes about it are just brilliant.”
