Story and characters

Players sometimes can't get back to the same dialogue option if they didn't exhaust the dialogue tree in one go.
36 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The idea here is not difficulty, but soaking the story and atmosphere - which is helped by a lovely soundtrack.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are quite good in that quasi-Infinity Engine way, and the play as such is a lot like a combat-less Planescape: Torment or more recently, Disco Elysium.
