Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game vaguely reminds me of Yume Nikki and Strange Telephone due to thematic similarities, but in the end, I think it managed to be something completely different - I don't want to compare it directly to Undertale, but I got those narrative vibes as well.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise 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.

Generally, the gameplay is just exploring 2D levels, picking up items, and occasionally solving creative sequence puzzles.
