Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
114 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
Even though the game does not take itself seriously from the start, I was still enjoying the narrative, and I still cared about the characters all the way up to the end of the second location.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
87 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
I thought the main character was hilarious with his smug and cynical commentary, very well voice acted, I couldn't nitpick any of the dialogue except for a few side characters, which again, for any indie game doing full voice acting is a big task, so I really appreciate it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
44 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
But aside from a few open backgrounds, I didn't mind the visuals and there is enough attention to detail when you are in the smaller locations. 4-5 hours is about average I would say.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
22 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
It has great content and representation, beautiful visuals, fun dialogues, charismatic characters and intuitive mechanics.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
19 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
Puzzles were fun without being too challening, but offered a good amount of difficulty so it didn't feel like they were tacked on.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
14 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
A highlight for me was definitely the backgrounds and unique character design.
