Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
the story is also just okay. my main issue with the story was that it was turned into a 'being a hero' kind of deal halfway through the storyline, which didn't feel deep at all when contrasted with the awesome concept of travelling between worlds with all these different cool artstyles. the last few minutes of the game being about accepting what has happened and just having the desire to return to the comfort of your home was a pretty meaningful ending however.

The Multi-Medium is an incredibly artistic and diverse puzzle-platformer with surprisingly smooth and varied gameplay.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
the game can be boiled down to travelling to different worlds each with different mediums, and matching themes to support their artstyles. the cold and dark charcoal world has an ominous dungeon, the vivid watercolor world is about underwater puzzles etc. this game does it well enough, no world in this game is better in terms of visuals than the others, they are all equally good to stare at for a while which is a pretty neat achievement.

Combined with its very affordable price, replayability value and fun soundtrack, this standout Indie deserves a spot in more players Steam libraries.
