Interesting hidden object/adventure combo with a simple, cute story and pleasant atmosphere.
Puzzles require creativity and patience, providing more challenge than typical hidden object games.
Has a unique, idiosyncratic art style that some players find appealing.

Frequent and game-breaking bugs reported, including crashes and freezing that halt progress.
Outdated graphics with grainy, dark visuals and no widescreen or modern resolution support.
Poor user interface features, such as an unhelpful hint system, pixel-perfect item clicking, and clunky controls.

The story is simple and typical for a hidden object puzzle adventure, featuring a quest to various locations with object-finding and character interactions. It provides a pleasant atmosphere but isn't particularly original or extraordinary. Overall, it’s an okay, straightforward narrative without bonus content.
- “Nice illustrations, pleasant atmosphere, cute story. I was on chapter 6, nearing the end, so I played for a while (note my recorded time is only because I don't play it all at once but keep it active since I tend to come back to games sometimes later on and just keep it active).”
- “It has a story that takes you on a quest to various locations where you have to find objects, talk to characters, complete goals, etc., in order to fulfill your sacred destiny and make everything right with the world.”
- “This is a very old hidden object puzzle adventure story and would have been B-grade even then.”
- “Story was ok, but nothing extraordinary.”
- “The story is pretty simple.”

The graphics are generally considered outdated, resembling 90's style with bleak, grainy, and dark visuals. Lack of modern effects like HDR leads to poorly detailed and dim environments. Overall, the graphical quality is seen as a significant drawback.
- “Graphics of 90's, bleak artwork.”
- “Graphics of 90's, bleak artwork, hint system virtually useless.”
- “Tearstone is a bit old, so the graphics could be more detailed and there is no HDR graphical effect to light up the dark areas.”
- “Graphics are grainy and dark.”
