The story is perceived as disjointed due to its structure, featuring two separate narratives that can confuse players if not understood beforehand. While some users appreciate the engaging visuals and music, they express frustration with the pacing of the text and inconsistencies in the story's details, such as the sudden change in tank design. Overall, the narrative has potential but suffers from execution issues that detract from the experience.
- “Awesome game! I love the music and the artwork, which is great, just like the story.”
- “That actually makes things a bit easier to understand. I was wondering why the story seemed so disconnected; it's because there are two different ones.”
- “If you don't know that before going in, then the story seems incredibly disconnected and weird.”
- “I didn't like the 'game'—if you can call it a game. For 9 minutes, all I did was read this story that showed up on the screen with some background of rats in some kind of battlefield.”

The graphics of the game receive positive feedback for their visual appeal and artistic quality, with users praising the artwork and overall aesthetics. However, there are some inconsistencies noted, particularly regarding the design of vehicles, which detracts from the immersive experience. Overall, while the visuals are a highlight, they are not enough to compensate for other shortcomings in the game.
- “I really like the visuals.”
- “The visuals look good.”
- “Awesome game, I love the music and the artwork is great, exactly like the story.”
- “Aside from the visuals, there isn't that much to praise for me.”
- “One complaint I do have about the visuals is that in the first story you read through, you're in a tank with the driver. The issue I have is that at first they show a medium-sized tank that runs on coal, and you can see it, which is cool. But then, a few moments later in a different scene, your tank suddenly turns into the very small WW1 FT17 French tank, and that engine that ran on coal, which you could easily see sticking out of your tank before, is now gone.”
- “Graphics: 5”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players find it enjoyable and a highlight of the experience, others feel it is mediocre. Overall, the music is appreciated for its contribution to the game's atmosphere, though some users express a desire for improvements in the game's pacing and text presentation.
- “Awesome game, I love the music and the artwork is great, exactly like the story. But please put a text skip button in the game because I think the text writes itself too slowly. I would prefer to see the full text and read it then, but that's the only problem; the rest is super awesome.”
- “The music is just okay; the English translation isn't the best either.”
- “The big positives are the music and how your choices play out.”
