Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Like Heaven's Vault with far less story and far more puzzles, if that's your thing.
107 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The visuals of the world are gorgeous, and a lot of the puzzles rely on exploration and travel.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
All in all I got 25 hours of gameplay out of it and might have gotten 2 more hours or so if a math puzzle hadn't had me desperate enough for a walkthrough.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Additionally, I think the notebook makes it too easy at some stages, but that's also just me being a bit of a puzzle masochist.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
But it was still a great little indie game with a fresh take on puzzle design, great atmosphere/music/visuals, and overall well worth the $20 price tag.
