Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
27 of 54 sampled reviews raised it
The result feels personal in a way many narrative games struggle to achieve.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
15 of 54 sampled reviews raised it
It’s a strong, solid effort for the lovers of exploration and “WTF is going on in this place” mysteries that get more confusing and complicated as the game progresses.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 54 sampled reviews raised it
Even though the cutscenes did not look very good, I think the art style is definitely the selling point of this title.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 54 sampled reviews raised it
There is no voice acting (UNFORTUNATELY – it would have been especially awesome in a game with so many quirky personalities), just occasional music and plenty of sound effects, both are very decent, but I’d prefer much more of some menacing tunes to build up the mood.
