Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
With a story driven not by fantasy or romance, but by crime, corruption, and personal agency, Far Away presents a mature, layered narrative experience unlike most visual novels.
42 of 79 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
OST is fine but unremarkable which is a letdown after Noctuary had one of my favourite soundtracks.
9 of 79 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visually, the game adopts a clean, understated art style typical of the medium, focusing on mood and character expression rather than overly flashy animation or effects.
