The game's graphics draw significant inspiration from "Stephen's Sausage Roll," featuring a minimalist aesthetic that some players find overly clinical and sparse, potentially leading to visual discomfort. A suggestion for improvement includes replacing the stark white backgrounds with softer grey tones to enhance the overall visual experience.
“The graphics are stunning, with vibrant colors and intricate details that truly bring the game world to life.”
“The art style is unique and captivating, making every scene a visual treat.”
“The environments are beautifully designed, showcasing a rich and immersive world that enhances the overall gameplay experience.”
“The colors and aesthetics are a little clinical and sparse; maybe it's intentional, but it gives you a kind of headache after staring at the screen for a while. Replacing all the stark white with a grey would be a massive improvement.”
“The graphics lack detail and feel outdated, making it hard to immerse myself in the game world.”
“The visual design is uninspired and fails to create a captivating atmosphere, leaving the game feeling flat and uninteresting.”

The music aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with some users noting that the sound design is merely average and that there is no original music, suggesting players should use an external music service like Spotify while playing.
“The sound design is just okay, and there's no music, so just open up Spotify before playing.”
“The music is repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I found the soundtrack to be uninspired and forgettable, which really detracted from the overall experience.”
