And the ending even has bits of (English) voice acting, which are also nicely done.

OG is an entertaining indy game if you enjoy survival horror gameplay.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 156 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is good and certainly doesn't distract, and the writing for those scenes, be them either one-offs, combat encounters, or bad ends, is good enough to add to the art, while they themselves are varied well enough to keep things interesting, and make losing a relatively fun prospect.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 156 sampled reviews raised it
Another thing that stands out is the sound; OG sports multiple unique background tracks as well as original sound effects, which does a lot to set the game apart from the average RPG-Maker game.
