- “The only in-game option is volume control (thank the lord for that, considering the music!).”

The graphics in the game are characterized by simplistic 2D art assets that offer little improvement even when resolution settings are adjusted, resulting in a lackluster visual experience. Reviewers note that the minimalistic graphics are clean but basic, failing to meet the high standards expected from PC games. Overall, the absence of substantial graphical enhancements detracts from the game's visual appeal.
- “Minimal graphics are clean and basic.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”
- “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

- “Fun to play, with good music and an entertaining background story!”
