Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Everyone sounds weird and robotic, but the gameplay is neat and the story is interesting outside of the characters being a bit illogical.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Its hand-drawn art style evokes the feel of an illustrated novel, with richly textured environments, expressive character portraits, and a strong sense of artistic identity.
