Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The hand-drawn art style is absolutely charming and looks stunning on the Steam Deck OLED screen, the vibrant colors of the ocean and the tropical islands really pop.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I wish there was voice acting for the characters to make the dialogue feel less like a chore to read, but considering the budget, the text-based storytelling is fine (though AI voice acting would be a welcome accessibility feature in a future update).
