The story, inspired by Jules Verne and Michel Ardan's voyages, is engaging and blends well with puzzles, offering an immersive sci-fi point-and-click adventure about a 19th-century explorer stranded on the moon. While some find it a bit short and occasionally silly or frustrating, most appreciate its originality, quirky plot points, and enjoyable storytelling. Overall, it captivates fans of science fiction despite some randomness and pacing issues.
- “Engaging storyline: the game follows the journey of a 19th-century explorer who crash-lands on the moon.”
- “They blend into the story perfectly as no puzzle is there just for the sake of its existence but rather, everything has a meaning.”
- “In my opinion one of the best point & click games with great gameplay and story.”
- “The plot is just straight up silly and childish, the puzzles are a sloggish chore, and that's pretty much all that needs to be said because these games are basically 100% plot and puzzles.”
- “No story to it apart from your 2 companions on the voyage to the moon had died but you know why and how they died at the beginning anyway.”
- “Perhaps if there was a story I may have had more incentive but there wasn't.”

The game's music is widely praised for its atmospheric and charming soundtrack that enhances the sense of adventure and complements the visuals and story well. The main menu music is noted for its pleasant, fitting vibe, while the unique use of musical notes as dialogue adds an interesting touch. However, a combined volume slider for sound and music is a minor drawback for some players.
- “Atmospheric soundtrack: the music and sound effects enhance the overall atmosphere, adding to the sense of adventure and discovery.”
- “The strong point of the sound is definitely its soundtrack.”
- “Main menu music has a really pleasant and suitable vibe for the type of game.”
- “Sound and music are combined into one volume slider, limiting control over individual audio elements.”
- “The portion of the game that has dialogue is well written, but there is no in-depth voice acting; the developer made this a feature of the alien race having them speak in musical notes.”
- “Sometimes, I prefer to play my own music with only the sound effects on, indicating the game's soundtrack may not always be engaging.”

- “They require thoughtful problem-solving, making the gameplay both fun and intellectually stimulating.”
- “Plenty of non-trivial riddles and challenges, and - what surprised me most - non-linear gameplay!”
- “So, to summarise: a point-and-click adventure, featuring a good story, some hand-eye coordination, a few timed sequences, plenty of opportunities to die, but with immediate resurrection to before the fateful decision was made, unlimited saves, an odd profiling system, a variety of logical, mathematical, inventory, linguistic, and mechanical puzzles, one musical puzzle, and no slider puzzles nor mazes.”
- “Truth be told, I wish I had persisted a little further, but the game's point-and-click/puzzle mechanics start you out panicking for air and struggling to find the solution, even if everything is in front of you and in your inventory.”
