Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The quirky characters, unexpected plot twists, and hilariously unpredictable scenarios combine to create a world where anything is possible and nothing is too outlandish.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The attention to detail extends to the audio as well, with a whimsical soundtrack and sound effects that perfectly complement the game's light-hearted tone.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
This game is a blast to play with a friend, it's exactly what I look for when I want to play a coop horror game (flashlights, scary monsters/sounds and puzzles) As usual not much replayability with games like these, but 100% worth it nonetheless.
