The graphics are described as very simple and lacking customization options, which is disappointing for a PC game, as it does not meet the high visual standards typically expected by gamers. Despite the low quality, the game runs smoothly on modern hardware.
“Luckily my brand new i5 7th gen could handle this flawless graphics almost without lagging.”
“Graphics are very simple.”
“There's no option to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
“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.”

“The plot twists are well-crafted and add depth to the overall experience.”
