By coupling this with the permadeath aspect, morale system, and the relationship mechanics - PikPok gave their characters a strong feeling of depth.

Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The atmosphere and visuals are beautiful, and the 2.5D design works surprisingly well—although some locations start feeling repetitive.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Music/Sound Design: The status effect sounds are great as well as zombie sounds, however currently there isn't much to this category, as there isn't music yet, survivor voices aren't unique, sometimes male survivors will have female grunts and sounds and vice versa.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
