Pretty solid, and writing is consistent enough throughout all the routes to just be an interesting cherry topping to all the different characters (Although I'm a bit sad over the lack of the Dancestors, even though most of them lack enough character to even do anything with) and the soundtracks are nice, but...
The art is SUPER inconsistent, most of the end cards look great but depending on character the sprites can range from looking great, like Dave, Aradia, Dirk, Equius, Eridan, Feferi, Kanaya, Rose and Sollux, to looking a bit off like Jade, John, Jane, Jake, Tavros and Terezi, to just looking... wrong like Karkat, Gamzee, Nepeta and Vriska.

The art-styles for the characters is just all over the place even considering the ones that do look solid, ranging from different amounts of detailing, or just being shaped a bit differently, and the trolls suffering heavily from inconsistency in the shade used for their skin, it really detracts from the experience when it is the primary visual in this sort of medium, Why do Rose and Sollux look reasonably consistent with their other appearances, while Vriska and Roxy look like a total re-invention of the characters?

It just kind of sends home the idea that the project was just done by a bunch of starry-eyed fans wanting to put out their vision of the characters, and this CAN be done well, as it was done through the writing, which was fantastic! Just try and keep it tame with the visuals.
