Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
as much as I hate piano puzzles, the one here was pretty easy, but I had to take screenshots of all the pictures of the house to figure out the differences outside the game, running back and forth would've been too much. and while the puzzles for the 'real ending' also have clues scattered around, they were harder to figure out, including another one with the piano, which I needed some assistance with, so balance is restored. (and I should start taking piano lessons if I want to keep playing these games.)

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
the presentation is pretty good, both graphics and audio, and the unity launcher takes care of resolutions and windowed mode. settings are available both from the main menu and while playing (another should-be-a-given-but-rarely-is), master and music volume sliders, optional y-axis flip, mouse sensitivity, but sadly no brightness settings.
