The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their simplistic and outdated 2D art style, which fails to meet modern standards and often resembles visuals from much older titles. While some players appreciate the retro aesthetic, the overall presentation is deemed lackluster, with minimal options for improvement. Many reviewers feel that the graphics detract from the gaming experience, making it feel more like a slideshow than an engaging video game.
- “Puzzles are nice, the graphics have that old retro look that I really appreciate, and last but not least, the price is more than fair.”
- “While graphics aren’t everything – and I adore many games that don’t pretend to have good graphics – it just speaks volumes as to the presentation value of the game.”
- “The only thing that makes it a traditional point and click adventure game aside from the mechanics are the graphics.”
- “Imagine a video game competing with someone's Instagram, but with worse graphics; well, here we are.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “The graphics and other presentation values are not up to the standard that we have come to demand from games on Steam.”

The story presents a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, but it suffers from a lack of originality and depth. Reviewers criticize the narrative as poorly constructed and uninspired, suggesting that it feels amateurish and fails to engage players effectively. Overall, while the concept has potential, it requires significant improvement to be truly enjoyable.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “The concept and the story have the potential to be enjoyable but not without a massive overhaul.”
- “Add to that a very amateurish feel to the whole thing, this game plays like something that should be free, and unoriginal, uninspired puzzles that have extremely poorly written instructions. Not that they're needed - you can figure things out on your own, but why write instructions when they're incomprehensible and would be of no help to anyone? The storyline is tired, badly put together, and barely there, and I seriously wonder how this game got greenlighted.”

The monetization strategy of these developers is heavily criticized for relying on unethical practices, such as repackaging premade game templates and assets into low-quality products that are marketed as original games. This approach is seen as a blatant cash grab, with accusations of misleading consumers and contributing to the shovelware trend on platforms like Steam.
- “These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things, stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into cheap, nasty shovelware game bundles as cash grabs.”
- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam and cash grab.”
- “Spider Key Games, Volens Nolens Games, Enoops, and David Mulder (how many accounts does Volens Nolens need to use to mislead gamers?) have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked or alternate accounts.”

The gameplay is characterized by a simplistic user interface primarily composed of 2D static images, leading some users to liken it to a browser game. While it retains traditional point-and-click mechanics, the graphics are the main distinguishing feature of the experience.
- “The gameplay is engaging and keeps you invested in the story.”
- “The mechanics are intuitive, making it easy for new players to jump in.”
- “The puzzles are cleverly designed, providing a satisfying challenge without being frustrating.”
- “For gameplay purposes, the user interface for this game is mostly just 2D static images, making it feel like a browser game.”
- “The only thing that makes it a traditional point-and-click adventure game, aside from the mechanics, are the graphics.”
