Story

107 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is solid so it keeps you entertained throughout, the environments are detailed, the graphics are great, and the voice acting is surprisingly good given the low-budget nature of the game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I've seen mention of poor optimization for some folks through a wide array of builds for GPUs and CPUs, but I was fortunate enough to have a fluid experience from beginning to end on a RTX 4050 on max settings, but graphical settings are also flexible and present to accommodate for those that may want to make a few adjustments to be more to their liking.

The graphics and sound design are excellent here, helping to add to the atmosphere.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not all is crimson news: the graphics for an indie studio are decent and detailed enough, and the sound effects are the best part as they pull the most weight in creating the dreaded and claustrophobic atmosphere.
