- “A strange game, the gameplay is simple but quite attractive; the message the game gives is okay.”
- “Gameplay is dogshit and while the graphics and humor are cool for how little content this game has, $7.99 is way too much. If it was $1 or $2, this review would be much less critical, but with the horrible gameplay and awful price tag, I just can't give this game a recommendation.”

The graphics of the game effectively capture the nostalgic PS1 aesthetic, resonating well with fans of retro indie titles. While some players appreciate the old-school visuals for enhancing the game's psychological horror elements, others criticize the overall quality and feel that the graphics alone do not justify the game's price. Overall, the retro style is seen as a fitting choice that contributes to the game's atmosphere, despite mixed opinions on its execution.
- “Captures that PS1 aesthetic pretty perfectly.”
- “The game uses old-school graphics, which works really well in this scenario, since going through a dark fleshy pixelated tunnel successfully creates a feeling of discomfort and claustrophobia that I feel we would not get with an anatomically accurate colon with RTX and all those other fancy graphical innovations.”
- “I think the retro aesthetic and texture on the models are perfectly fine, and toward the end there are some neat visuals as well.”
- “Ps1 graphics are absolutely making that comeback in the retro indie fashion.”
- “Gameplay is terrible, and while the graphics and humor are cool for how little content this game has, $7.99 is way too much. If it were $1 or $2, this review would be much less critical, but with the horrible gameplay and awful price tag, I just can't recommend this game.”

The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its oppressive yet immersive qualities, enhanced by brilliant music and retro PS1 aesthetics. While it effectively creates a spooky, atmospheric horror experience, some players feel that the pacing can detract from narrative progression, leading to moments of repetitive gameplay. Overall, it is recommended for those seeking a unique and engaging atmospheric horror experience.
- “Kinda spooky but there are no threats, so it's more of an atmospheric horror.”
- “This game is fantastic when it comes to atmosphere.”

- “The atmosphere is oppressive, but I mean, you're up someone's ass, so you kind of want to do your job and get the heck out of there.”
- “The biggest problem I have with it is that it just kind of wastes a lot of time. It took me almost 2 hours to finish, and most of it was just doing the same thing. Fine, you build the atmosphere with the isolation in the colon; it's all good, but I don't think it was necessary to keep me there for so long between the narrative progression.”
