Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Biggest pro besides that is the atmosphere which does a fantastic job of setting the mood along with solid visuals to boot and the puzzles thrown in aren't to difficult but not hard enough to make you want to rip your hair out.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
In fact, the full price is pretty bloody generous for what you're getting here - around two hours of quality entertainment, with decent replayability - and I can't see many horror aficionados being bitterly disappointed.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It's sometimes to the point of it detracting from the experience and is also the one part where the otherwise solid sound design falters.
