Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The gameplay is very much a secondary consideration here, consisting mainly of talking to characters, solving some very light puzzles, and delivering pizzas.
120 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
While I perhaps didn't enjoy it as much as soundtrack to The Norwood Suite (which makes sense owing to the musical focus of that title), it's still an excellent collection of tunes
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
If you played Off-Peak or The Norwood Suite, you'll probably still be surprised by the barrage of trippy visuals; entering Off-Peak city is like jumping into a pool of cold water.
