Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
A simple but charming game, however it really feels like only one character's plot line actually got really fulfilled in any way, and the sudden fantastical elements in what was otherwise a very grounded game definitely gave me whiplash.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is so simple that it lost my interest after just a couple of minutes, but that's not all there is on offer--there's a visual novel component, after all, so 1980 has a proper, full-fledged storyline!
