The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some players expressing disappointment over the lack of artwork to complement key romantic moments, particularly the absence of a kiss scene at the ending. While there are occasional standout pieces of artwork, many feel that the overall visuals do not effectively capture the festive atmosphere intended by the soundtrack, leaving a desire for more immersive backgrounds and illustrations of significant character interactions.
“There are rare moments of great artwork in the game (not many but a few) of what I call artwork of 'special moments'.”
“Now I do have some gripes about the graphics.”
“The soundtrack is full of Christmas tunes, but it cannot enhance the look of the game without the graphics to match the mood.”
