Entertainment Weekly said "Beyond the Wall deploys the standard point-and-click interface in a way that encourages contemplation and reflection rather than busy screen hopping. In so doing, it comes very close to a live experience, something I never expected a CD-ROM to be capable of" [6]
The game won New Media magazine’s top “Best of Show” Invision award. [8]
