Story and characters

Quality soundtrack, eerie setting, lovely pixel art, puzzles that don't make you tear your hair out, exciting mysterious story and atmosphere....all add up to a wonderful little gem of a game.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The atmosphere, imagery and gameplay was both distinct and familiar enough to allow me to become immersed in the storytelling and even care about saving a library that I was never really introduced to.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
okay; we have a beautiful dark atmosphere, cute pixel-art, nice sound effects here... but, where is the game?

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
In terms of game interaction, it is a simple, not always logical, process of floating the mouse around to find objects and seeing if they interact with any of the peculiar inventory selections.
