Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
181 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The writing and characters were the highlight of the experience for me, I would say I enjoyed about 95% of the dialogue and world-building, despite being a very text-heavy game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I want to give the devs credit for actually putting some originality into puzzle mechanics, they were fun and not difficult enough to drag the game down.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Despite its modest art style, I think the locations and the world design were very good, granted the game settings are very limited for the price.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With bluish surreal/fantastical atmosphere and diverse amount soundtrack, there's no stale moment during my playthrough (except when i stuck on certain puzzle).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles are neat, the story is really good (especially if you get the achievement called "The Truth"), and the character interactions are a lot of fun to read.
