Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
the atmosphere is well set, the characters are well written, captivating story set in a pseudo-real development process (with embellishments i assume), my only complain is that the achievements don't offer any hints beside where they take place

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is pretty solid, the charm of Paako is pretty fun, and the story of the dev himself is inspiring.
