Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
222 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Since I won't be going into spoilers, the most I can say about the story is that it is more engaging than I expected it to be.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Which is very unfortunate because the game itself has a great art style, is well voiced and has good music.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You can force the game in 60 fps, but it'll speed up the gameplay as well.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Coupled with solid sound design, music, and voice acting, and the overall package is engaging and comes recommended.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game offers both co-op and accessibility options, which I found interesting, as I'm not sure why co-op would be a thing for a visual style novel.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Critical love, Game Awards win, multiplayer that actually got people arguing on the couch, and enough residual life to keep existing four years later.
