Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art style is detailed enough that you don't have to worry about pixel hunting and in the very early game you are prevented from leaving areas until you've uncovered the information/items you need to continue, to get you used to methodically clearings screens.

The game isn't voiced but there's an excellent soundtrack and good sound effects as well.
