“The story has a compelling mystery to it that I just can’t wait to solve.”
“Would have made it an 11/10, but I would like to never have to hunt down Humphrey ever again, and the plot wrap-up seemed rushed.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players noting beautiful landscapes and compelling visuals, while others criticize the overall quality as subpar, featuring bugs, glitches, and poor rendering. Many users express disappointment that the graphics do not match the quality shown in trailers, and issues like frame-rate drops and black screens detract from the experience.

“The landscape graphics are very nice; I wish there was a bit more to do with character creation, and it is a little confusing at times.”
“This game is genuinely really good, although it's got quite a few bugs (but nothing that affects gameplay I've come across). It's still in very early development and genuinely has a good story, beautiful graphics, and really held my attention.”
“The graphics are beautiful, the lore is deep, and the voice acting is impeccable!”
“Graphics are totally not good, grass is black.”
“The graphics were not sharp, like in the trailer, and changing the graphic options did not improve the graphics.”
