The graphics of the software are criticized for their bare user interface and sterile aesthetics, with users noting the limitations of the stock Unity interface and a lack of customization options. While it may serve for rough sketches, the overall visual presentation and design tools are deemed inadequate for more detailed architectural planning.
“The amount of software available on Steam and elsewhere for architectural design and planning is shockingly small, and what little there is tends towards titles like this: extremely bare UI, poorly thought out tools, and utterly sterile aesthetics.”
“I want to like this, but the stock Unity interface (including the inability to change window size or graphics settings), inability to place anything outside the 2D view, and lack of options for wall treatments mean that this is useful for extremely rough sketches, nothing more.”

“There are not enough furniture items and decorations to place; most of them have weird proportions, and the walls and doors are buggy.”
“The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to progress without losing progress.”
“I experienced constant lag and frame drops, which severely affected my gameplay experience.”
