The atmosphere is also nice for the most part, the graphics are pretty good.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
18 of 174 sampled reviews raised it
In short Psych is a fun little horror adventure with good mechanics and gameplay for the genre, bogged down by a somewhat bad and insensitive main story that doesn't really explore mental issues as cleverly or as compassionately as it thinks it does.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 174 sampled reviews raised it
Visually the game is pretty good, and while some of the environments are generic and dull they aren't terrible to look at or anything and the sound here, both in the voice acting and atmosphere is far above average for an indie horror title excellent stuff.
