There's a story on top of the puzzle solving.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
They seem to have the same level of beautiful graphics as Palindrome, though it makes me wish these games supported virtual reality. mc2games is building another escape room game for release this year, Regular Factory, but unfortunately it doesn't look like that one will support VR, either.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
- Interesting plot that added flavor without getting in the way of gameplay
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It looks cool (considering the rather low graphics requirement), the soundtrack is atmospheric, the occasional voice overs fit in as well.
