Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The creators undertook a rather ambitious task, because we simultaneously play for three characters - experienced Mac and Charlie, and the creepy robo-bear Moses, whom you begin to love in just 5 minutes.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I enjoyed the writing, dialogue, plot, characters, voice acting, atmosphere (!), wonderful visuals, and great blend of sci-fi and horror.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay-wise: I thought the game had a great balance between challenge and accessibility: pressing the right click button marks notable landmarks and points of interaction (the latter of which is also available on puzzle screens).
