The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some users criticizing the pixel art as poor compared to 3D visuals, while others appreciate the unique art style. Despite graphical limitations, the style is seen as fitting and adds to the game's charm, though technical issues like bugs and lag can detract from the overall experience.

- “Not finished playing quite yet but really like the art style and the hiding/going back in time mechanic is a cool idea.”
- “So yes, this features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics.”
