The unsettling atmosphere is enhanced by haunting sound design and stunning visuals.
The strictly chromatic shades were a great aesthetic choice given that it adds to the almost fairy tale tones that this story tends to weave in and out of, which is further emphasized by the fact that sometimes the visuals can look like anything from vivid paintings to more grounded black & white film photographs.
There are also various point-and-click features, so gameplay feels more interactive and immersive.
