The game's graphics are criticized for being simplistic and reminiscent of low-effort flash or mobile games, featuring basic 2D visuals that lack the quality expected from a PC title. The art style, characterized by square shapes and minimal detail, fails to impress and may alienate casual gamers who might otherwise appreciate its design. Overall, the graphics do not meet the standards of a visually engaging gaming experience.
“The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort flash/browser games and mobile apps.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
“The art style, which is basically just squares placed at different angles, clouds, trees, etc., shows that everything in this world has a basic outline/concept to it.”

The music in the game is described as relaxing but repetitive, leading to a sense of monotony similar to being on hold during a customer service call. While it initially provides a calming atmosphere, its lack of variety can detract from the overall experience.
“Granted there is a single soundtrack which is relaxing, but soon this begins to play out like a soundtrack you get exposed to when you phone up a customer complaint line and get placed on hold.”
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”

The game's story conveys a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, but many users feel it lacks depth and sophistication, likening it to a simplistic narrative suitable for young children.
“The moral of the story is that you never know what life has in store for you. If I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“The story is engaging and thought-provoking, showcasing the depth of the characters and their journeys.”
“The narrative is beautifully crafted, with twists and turns that keep you invested in the outcome.”
“The game was developed by a single Russian developer, and the story is something that could have been drummed up in a kindergarten.”
“The narrative lacks depth and fails to engage the player, making it feel more like a chore than an adventure.”
“The plot twists are predictable, and the character development is shallow, leaving little to invest in emotionally.”

Players find that while grinding can be manageable initially, it becomes excessively tedious in later levels due to the lengthy journeys required to reach exit portals.
“While it may not be so bad at first, it does become seriously tedious in later levels where you’re required to journey the length of the map to get to an exit portal.”
“The grinding feels endless, and it often detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
“I found myself repeating the same tasks over and over, which made the experience feel more like a chore than fun.”
