Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The style also shows how the emphasis on writing and building some sort of story is significantly more important than emphasizing the visuals.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With very simplistic designs and graphics it manages to give a very notorious and colorful aesthetic, that can sometimes become eerie and jarring much like it would feel in a sort of dream, where you can understand what's around you and almost immediately lose all meaning.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fatum Betula is a small but strikingly memorable surreal exploration title developed and published by Bryce Bucher that feels less like a conventional game and more like an interactive philosophical vignette.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Of course, the PSX era aesthetics and an amazing soundtrack both allow the story to take root and give form to its fleshy bark and low-polygon, bony branches.
