The story is generally viewed as a mix of clichés and familiar tropes, featuring a protagonist on an adventure to resolve a centuries-old forbidden love involving magic and ancient technology. While some players found it enjoyable and well-paced, others felt it lacked originality and had a disappointing ending. Overall, it serves as a straightforward backdrop for the game's puzzle and hidden object mechanics.
- “She crashes and then has an adventure to save a couple of lovers from half a century ago that got trapped because of a whole story of forbidden love, magic crystals, with some ancient civilization tech thrown in the mix.”
- “The story and game flow great, with no parts where you get lost or stuck; I ended up playing in one sitting.”
- “Despite being a fairly new game, it reminds me of the older Artifex Mundi titles. The game still has plenty of in-game animation parts for the story, and it's a mix of puzzles, finding objects, and hidden object game parts, but they are more like the basic mechanics of older hidden object games.”
- “The story was nothing special, and the ending could have been better.”
- “So, the story is a collage of clichés and tropes.”

The graphics are widely regarded as dated and not well-suited for modern displays, often requiring windowed mode to avoid distortion.

- “Unfortunately, the only downside is the graphics are extremely dated at this age, with some objects difficult to discern.”
- “Graphics are not good, and the screen isn't made for modern computers (has to be played in windowed mode to avoid a stretched screen).”
- “The graphics look very dated today, but it is still a fun hidden object game with balanced difficulty, original minigames, and well-done hidden object scenes.”
