The graphics in the game are generally considered subpar, with many users noting that they feel cheap and lack detail, particularly in character models.

- “Gonna say one thing, if you have one version of the game, don't buy the other unless you really want better graphics, which lowers performance.”
- “Everything about this game feels cheap - the graphics, the physics, the whole feel of it.”
- “Graphics are clearly just a placeholder, as the 'NPCs' in the game are just default UE4 assets.”
- “I own both Quest and Steam variants; the only difference is graphics.”
