The gameplay loop is fun, if a little simple.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The narrative has heart, the writing is solid (actual wit and nuance in a video game), the soundtrack is nice if relatively vanilla, and the overall experience has a real sense of place.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Deciding who gets to come in or not and evaluating guests is a good time and works fairly well, the writing is clever, the art style isn't complex but it works for what it is.
