Story

51 of 121 sampled reviews raised it
I would be incredibly interested to see this world expanded on in some way but I get the impression that the dev doesn't intend to (especially with the contents of the secret ending in mind) and I while I wish that wasn't the case, I honestly respect the decision to make a concise little story and keep it that way.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 121 sampled reviews raised it
It's an incredibly interesting story that was more than good enough to keep me playing through all the endings and the visuals of all the endings are truly amazing, but I know a lot of people will be turned off by how it's told, how it ends or the gameplay, so this is a conflicting one and difficult to review.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 121 sampled reviews raised it
The world, scenario design, sound design/music, and atmosphere are excellent, and what I appreciated the most about the game.
