The graphics of the game are generally described as decent, resembling those of typical simulators or indie titles, with some attempts at a cell-shaded style that may not fully succeed. While the visuals can be appealing, especially on higher settings, the lack of an in-game options menu for adjustments is a notable drawback. Overall, the graphics are considered good, with the ability to run on lower-end systems, but they do not stand out as exceptional.
- “Amazing graphics.”
- “Realistic graphics and physics... now with VR... got it for free...”
- “The graphics are really good, even if you have a bad computer you can play this game on medium or low, but if you have a good PC, you can play this game on beautiful.”
- “The graphics look like any other simulator or indie game with a little revision to give it a nice touch.”
- “It almost looks like the developer attempted a cel-shaded graphics style and failed.”
- “There is no in-game options menu; you can adjust screen resolution, toggle fullscreen, and adjust the graphics quality via a separate window before launch (my guess is that this is a Unity game).”

The gameplay is characterized by a lack of depth and variation, leading to a monotonous experience after an initial period of fun. While it draws comparisons to Bossa Studios' Surgeon Simulator, some users note improved mechanics, yet overall, it is seen as appealing primarily for its wacky physics rather than engaging gameplay.
- “How did I even manage to get 10 hours of gameplay?”
- “The general gameplay is as you'd expect.”
- “It has a great feel towards Surgeon Simulator, but with some better mechanics.”
- “If, however, you are looking for something other than basic monotonous gameplay with some funny one-laugh achievements, move on.”
- “To sum this game up in one sentence: fun for the first couple of minutes until you realize that you are doing the same action for the rest of the game with no variation in its mechanics.”
- “Without a doubt a rip-off of Bossa Studios' Surgeon Simulator, from the 'simulator' in the name down to the gameplay.”

The game's story is minimal and lacks depth, with players noting that it primarily consists of repetitive missions centered around collecting items, which can become monotonous. While there are some parodic elements related to pop culture, the overall narrative is considered weak and not engaging.
- “The controls are simple, but mastering them is another story!”
- “If you fail, and everyone fails at least once, you can restart the mission. Every time you restart, there will be a different table layout, unless you turn that option off.”
- “I liked to play this game, so I give it a 7. It's a nice game with several missions.”
- “Don't expect a deep story, though.”
- “The plot this game offers is very minimal and may not even deserve the title 'plot.' The different levels of the game are effectively simple map changes, and while they do parody some elements of pop culture, they become monotonous and boring.”
- “You have the exact same mission in every map: get the tea, cake, plate, cup, and biscuit.”

- “The music is nice.”
- “The controls are terrible and there is no real story, other than a bit of background music.”

- “Zombies and classic music.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while it can be entertaining and humorous, particularly due to its challenging mechanics, repeated failures can lead to a sense of tedium. The game's requirement for precision and dexterity adds to the fun but may also frustrate players if they struggle to progress.
- “The game is a bit like Surgeon Simulator; you have to do everything with one hand, which makes it funny, but if you fail over and over, the game gets a bit tedious.”
- “Fun and good game to play in one sitting, but it can be tedious at times.”
- “Now, it is very much possible he was hired by the government of the tedious tea department™ to test the players' dexterity and skills of delivering a fancy tea time to Ted, to initiate how capable the player may or may not be, due to the fact Ted can self-destruct with even the smallest sliver of a mishap.”
