Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Beyond random technical issues and slow combat, I am curious to see what people think of the narrative, I don't think the story is great, but it is weird and different, so much so that I often found myself stunned trying to digest the experience.

Also liked the fact that the dialogue changes based on some choices, which to me adds a certain degree of replayability.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The hand-drawn art is fantastic across the board, with scenes often looking like something out of an animated film, and the soundtrack is beautiful; the story is moving and the characters, especially Kristal, are memorable.
