While these mechanics offer a satisfying layer of strategy, they can become monotonous after extended play.

on the upside, the theming and art and voice acting are lovely, and I'm enjoying the story.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
18 of 93 sampled reviews raised it
The hand-drawn 2D art style, steeped in shadows and muted tones, sets an unsettling atmosphere from the first screen.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 93 sampled reviews raised it
It's a Lovecraftian indie game and I really hate that I can't rate this higher because the art is gorgeous, the developer decided to add voice acting shortly before the game released and the voice acting is pretty good, and the atmosphere is truly fantastic.
