The graphics are praised for their vibrant and varied visuals that enhance the fantasy setting, showcasing a compelling blend of contemporary and fantasy art styles. While the heroine's design is detailed and appealing, particularly in terms of facial expressions and attire, the male characters and enemies are criticized for their generic and simplistic designs. Overall, the visuals are considered decent, with some reviewers noting a decline in appeal compared to previous titles.
“The visuals are vibrant and varied, effectively enhancing the fantasy setting with their overall aesthetic appeal.”
“A compelling mix of contemporary and fantasy visuals that effectively illustrate two interlinked worlds.”
“Senra's art style continues to improve, though I will be honest; this game was less appealing to me than Serafina was, but not by much.”
“Graphically, the game has its ups and downs. The design of the heroine is quite attractive, with very detailed art that showcases her facial expressions well, plus her outfit is quite lewd. However, on the negative side, all male characters have a very basic design and are almost nothing pleasing to the eye, similar to the enemies that have quite generic designs and original enemies that are very simplistic.”
“For what it's worth, I don't think most people care about the visuals so much as the H content—it's why we're here, right?”
