Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
wow, this was an incredible experience, the first 0g moment was incredible. the visuals and sound design are excellent, and the puzzles are very fun and engaging. there was one moment towards the middle of the game where spoken dialogue comes in right after reading a bit of unspoken written dialogue, and as both can be very thought-provoking it was difficult to focus on both of them at the same time and I ended up dying to hear the spoken dialogue again; this is probably my only criticism with the game design. the soundtrack is a bit minimal with the piano but it works well enough, and there are still some interesting adaptive music moments in the game that I enjoyed. the music serves the deeply thoughtful and frightening nature of the story quite well and I felt I got the kind of immersion that a brilliant short novel will give.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
As the puzzles are required to beat the game, the puzzle gameplay will be easily finished and you can replay this game in an hour or less to beat it after doing so once; since a lot of it is just understanding the mechanics the earlier ones especially feel quite intuitive on a repeated playthrough, and as there are exploration elements to the game I think that this decision is not itself an objective flaw.
