The graphics of this remastered game largely remain unchanged from the original 90s version, with some slight improvements in lighting and 3D rendering, which evoke nostalgia for many players. However, several users find the visuals outdated, blurry, or difficult to read—particularly in puzzle-solving sections—and suggest that enhanced graphics for modern platforms could improve the experience. Despite this, the overall smoothness of movement and faithful preservation of the original graphics are appreciated by fans.
- “The guys have done a great job bringing this game to Android; sound, graphics are first class and moving around the mansion is really smooth.”
- “As for everything else, I couldn't fault the 3D rendering graphics, the actors, and more importantly the music and sound effects in this.”

- “Even though it's supposed to be a "remastered" the graphics have not been improved at all; lighting is slightly better than before, but overall they still look poor.”
- “This version has very poor graphics in the puzzle-solving sections, making it difficult to see some of the lettering or icons, which negatively impacts the gameplay experience.”
- “The graphics did not age well at all; they appear pixelated and blurry in places, and letters are hard to read, especially during puzzle-solving.”

Amazing game.”
