Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I had thought of playing just one "ending" but ended up playing two and a bit more, reading and clicking through it for almost 42 minutes.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The music, art style, and UI all go great together to create an unnerving and unsettling backdrop for a good story.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
I can right-click to a pause/settings menu which I find very laconic in a good way, as well a benefit to the general mood of the game.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I recommend it as the story is pretty interesting for me, if a bit dark, and there are various endings to collect which makes the game have replayability value.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The sound design is good, not to mention the music with its rather orchestral feeling(the string instruments and piano for the more mournful scenes, the loud thumping whenever Maria's feeling more frantic) and the visuals are striking with its simple silhouetted individuals and sketch-like backgrounds, overall the style rocks, I like how everyone's eyes pop out and how Orin is distinct in their green ones, which overall it's interesting to see everyone be represented by red eyes, but the unnatural otherworldly with green(which has been associated with creepy imagery before but red's more commonly used in horror to represent any maliciousness, which is why I find this interesting)
