The graphics in the game have been criticized for relying on outdated retro pixel art instead of modern visuals, leading to comparisons with AAA titles that showcase advanced graphics. Reviewers express frustration that capable developers would opt for higher-quality graphics if they had the skills, likening the situation to unqualified professionals in other fields. Overall, the sentiment reflects disappointment in the choice of visual style, which is seen as a lack of ambition.
“But let's be clear... if a developer is capable of doing visuals like Sensua or Death Stranding, they will do those graphics.”
“They chose to use obsolete retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
“Name a single AAA studio that's published a AAA game with pixel art instead of proper graphics.”

The monetization model of the game is entirely free, which contrasts with the common perception of games made with Gamemaker Studio as often being low-effort cash grabs.
“Very often, game maker studios are used to create shovelware and lazy cash grabs, although in this case, the game is completely free.”
