I came across this game quite recently and was simply amazed by the story I read. Despite the weak graphics compared to other games, the plot really captivated me - I have seen such interesting and colorful text in games very, very rarely... Please tell me how often the author posts new versions? I really want to know what happens next.
Which games? I think the graphics are both great and effective here (though yes, there are several with better 2d art), so it's probably just accounting for taste and personal preference.
Western-style 2d art & traced 2d art (personal favorites);
Anime-style 2d art (not a fan);
Das-3d, Honeyselect & devs who just utilize screenshots in existing 3d game properties (least favorite generally and it's difficult not to look carbon-copy or lifeless imo. A very small handful of devs have mastered lighting, shading, pose and focus to successfully do Das well without the lifeless doll/dead-fish-eye elements. But I find they're a rarity);
Real porn or coopted art screenshots in html games (often the worst, though occasionally the dev utilizes this well);
Extra-limbed monstrosities with 13 fingers and inconsistent art/character styles (ie AI Art, which is still really bad till tech gets better or you find the rare dev that touches up the images appropriately for sanity and consistency --- which I haven't seen yet).
