Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
144 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
At no point of the story I had the feeling of lacking plausibility; only one puzzle took me quite some time to solve, but in general they are all very well balanced and are purely logic-based without any guessing or combining items in an absurd way.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack, although not very memorable, it does what it sets to do and is quite pleasant and fitting with what's happening in the background.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Each scene is designed with love in a very appealing art style.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay adheres to classic point-and-click design while avoiding the pitfalls that often accompany the genre.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And it's got some truly unique ideas too- I don't think I've ever seen an adventure game that has character customization, nor that lets you choose a 'class' up front that changes how you solve puzzles throughout the game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles are just the right difficulty to make you think without getting stumped.
