The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users noting that the artwork appears unfinished and lacks polish, featuring limited sprite poses and no character graphics (CGs). While the art style is reminiscent of Type-Moon's earlier works, some players feel it falls short of capturing the intended aesthetic, though others appreciate its simplicity and connection to classic visual novels. The background graphics, designed as impressionist oil paintings, contrast with the sharper cartoonish character designs, adding to the game's unique visual identity.

- “Don't expect the graphics of the game to be like today's visual novels; the game is a lot more like classic ones made in the early 2000s.”
- “The background graphics are all done as impressionist oil paintings, with the main characters depicted as normal sharp cartoon anime images.”
