The graphics are generally described as aesthetically pleasing, featuring colorful and charming hand-drawn elements, though some users note that they could be improved. While the tombstones add a humorous touch with their messages, they tend to lose their novelty quickly. Additionally, there are some performance issues, such as slow transitions between buildings.

- “While the hand drawn graphics are fun and the elevator music can make you suicidal, it kinda fits with the theme of the game.”
- “There are flaws with it - the instructions at the start weren't especially helpful, the graphics could be better and it can be a bit slow to switch between buildings in-game.”
- “The graphics are aesthetically pleasing enough, and while the tombstones have great (and sometimes vulgar) messages inscribed on them, the messages get old quickly.”

The gameplay is built on a promising concept with potential for dark humor, but currently suffers from weak mechanics that fail to engage players. Many reviewers suggest that the game lacks interesting features and recommend waiting for improvements or exploring other options if budget or patience is a concern. Additionally, the graveyard plot/trash mechanic has been noted as a particular issue.
- “Fundamentally, it's a great idea - there's lots of capacity for some good dark humor and to expand the mechanics of it.”
- “As it stands, the mechanics are quite weak.”
- “If you're on a budget, or have little patience, I'd suggest a different game, or waiting until the mechanics in this one are a little more refined.”
- “The other issue is the graveyard plot/trash mechanic.”

The music in the game is generally considered pleasant, though it often feels mismatched with the somber themes, such as those found in funeral homes. Players appreciate the inclusion of a radio feature that allows for music changes, while some find the elevator music fittingly ironic, despite its potentially depressing nature.
- “The music is nice enough, even if it doesn't fit the mood. However, that might be for the better, considering how funeral homes are sad, depressing places.”
- “It has a little radio that plays some music that you can change between.”
- “While the hand-drawn graphics are fun, the elevator music fits the theme of the game, even if it can be a bit overwhelming.”

- “I love how the game uses absurd situations and quirky characters to deliver its humor; it really adds a unique charm to the experience.”
