Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The story is pretty nice, the characters are quite likeable, but most of all, you get to experience non-euclidean geometries (especially hyperbolic).

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
For example; The drone race, art gallery, snow land catapult, and even the sub story about a content creator are all seedlings of great elements which show interesting gameplay, fascinating world building, awe-inspiring visuals, and compelling characters (bad monologues aside) could of existed in this game if CodeParade had built on what he no doubt has worked so hard to make, took risks to make a real world, leaned harder into what drew him and the player into hyper-geometry, and hired a writer to help him make an actually well written story.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack is quite nice too, it is pretty chill and doesn't get in the way of the visual experience (which is the most important in this game, I guess).
