The humor in the game is described as both absurd and entertaining, often poking fun at its own design and the conventions of reality shows. While the conversations and activities may be limited, players find the comedic elements, particularly the gender-based skill assignments, to be amusingly misguided and a source of laughter. Overall, the humor is a standout feature that keeps players engaged despite other shortcomings.
“It's so bad it's nearly good, and it's incredibly funny for a couple of games just to make fun of the game design in general.”
“Well worth the 43p; the conversations are terrible, the activities are limited, but it is extremely funny and will easily keep you amused for several games.”
“Your character has four different skills that can go up in value to ten, with one of those skills being different for men and women... with men having humor and women the ability to cook?”

The graphics in the game are considered underwhelming, with suggestions that more time could enhance their quality and depth. Reviewers note a lack of satirical impact compared to the more graphic nature of actual reality TV shows, and the character designs and interactions feel bland and unengaging. Overall, the visuals do not effectively support the game's intended themes or humor.

“I was blown away by the level of detail in the character models; they feel so realistic and immersive.”
“The art style is unique and captivating, making every scene visually appealing and engaging.”
“From the title, the game is meant to satirize reality TV shows like Big Brother, but I don't really see where the satire is... after all, those kinds of shows are generally more graphic, more vulgar, and more bizarre than this game.”
“It actually feels weird that you can't have same-sex relations in this, since the characters are so bland, and the sex is not really very graphic beyond really bad sex dialogue.”
