Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
it's about the journey - this game takes some surprising developments, and the map diversity and play experience variety are hugely appreciated. i don't want to spoil it but each of the levels feels almost like its own game tied within one linear narrative, and that was something i really enjoyed.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Perfectly juxtaposing with impressively sharp sound design, the visuals are incisively lo-fi.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The first few levels are truly effective, both at frightening the player as well as engaging them in tense, survival-horror gameplay.
