Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Developed by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks, the game focuses on narrative depth, character interactions, and mystery, making it an excellent companion piece instead of a simple promotional tie-in.
64 of 163 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Having played the full game before this prelude, I can safely say that in terms of visuals and gameplay the full game has nothing much in common with this.
12 of 163 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The game gets some points for the artwork, soundtrack and price (free) but it is still not worth playing before the main game.
