The graphics of "Teocida" are characterized by a unique and unsettling aesthetic that blends Giger-inspired visuals with grotesque and religious elements, creating a captivating yet disturbing atmosphere.

Overall, the visuals are praised for their creativity and depth, making the game a worthwhile experience for those drawn to its distinctive look.

- “Amazing atmosphere and visuals.”
- “The main hub is perfect with having so many hidden spots along with the background and overall visuals being beautiful!”
- “The game tries a bit too hard to be edgy with its visuals, making some moments feel more comical than they should be.”

- “The main story is very short; it took me two hours to beat it.”
