Anyway, I loved the main character, and most of the side characters are pretty interesting as well.

This rewards exploration and brings replayability back to a genre which has stopped valuing it as much of late.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game was created by someone named Meredith Gran (whose work I admit I'm unfamiliar with), the writing is really great, and I also liked the art style and animation.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When I got it on Steam, I also splurged an extra 7 bucks for the MIDI soundtrack, which is also highly recommended.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's relatable (both generally and personally), believable, and written with highly proficient prose that at one point even makes creative use of narrator vs hero vs main character.
