Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
128 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Then there is plenty of extra CGs, dialogue, and endings that flesh out that story even more.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The writing is excellent, the characters are engaging and lovable in ways that make the horror hit much harder, and the atmosphere slowly builds into pure discomfort.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The juxtaposition of the cutesy art style/relationship sim aspect of the game and the deeply disturbing themes is such a fun idea.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Aside from the absolutely killer soundtrack in the title screen and cute chibi characters bouncing around, and the cheery, upbeat music as more characters get introduced, this was nothing more than a ruse.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really loved that part of the game, made it really fun to unravel with friends.
