The graphics have been criticized for their poor quality, being designed for mobile devices rather than high-end gaming displays, resulting in locked resolutions and controls. However, some users appreciate the art style and music, indicating that while the visuals may be lacking, the overall aesthetic has its merits.
- “Apart from just being an e-book rather than a proper game, the other hallmarks of mobile apps are there... locked resolution/controls, and no way to improve the garbage visuals from software designed to run on an iPhone instead of a 4K high refresh gaming display.”
