Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I liked the characters - they felt like they had strong voices - and I liked the story, though I felt it ended abruptly.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It would be a very relaxing game, with its haunting melodic soundtrack, but there are intense and quite difficult platforming elements that will prove to be frustrating and potentially defeating.

Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
Kudos to the devs for adding so many accessibility features and allowing you to remap all controls!

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Overall, I've enjoyed Kandria and I think it's worth playing but I think unless you're a twitchy, hardcore celeste-style gameplay fan, then prepared yourself for a bit of frustration (and toggle some of the settings to make it a touch easier on yourself).
