Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Very fun rouge game, Its a mix of puzzle solving, fetch quests that are not tedious, and combat that's not too difficult but gives you a run now and then.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
A smaller nitpick is the game feels far more natural to play on a mouse and keyboard than it does with a controller.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The sound design builds on this theme beautifully, balancing subtle ambient tracks with unsettling hums and occasional bursts of music that feel as if they’re coming from another dimension.
