The graphics in the game are generally praised for their stunning artwork and blood-chilling visuals, effectively enhancing the overall experience. While some reviews note that the graphics are primarily static, they are well-presented and engaging, making the occasional animations even more impactful. However, there are mixed opinions, with one reviewer stating that the decent graphics cannot compensate for the game's other shortcomings.

- “But the decent graphics couldn't hide the fact that everything else about the game was garbage.”
- “The graphics in the game, for the most part, are of the static variety (aren't they always in these games), but they are presented and drawn in such a way as to draw you in. When the game does throw some moving images at you, they are all the more attention-grabbing for it.”
