Rafflesia is most remembered today for its dark presentation, featuring a recurring theme of cosmic horror and grotesque enemies consisting of only twisted orange faces, and the graphics are otherwise sparse and lonely. Its soundtrack is fittingly disturbing and consists mainly of unnerving tones and melodies. Notably, the game stands in stark contract to Coreland's other games, which generally feature bright colors and a lighthearted tone.[2]
