Summary: I wish it was longer but all around a really good indie game with a great story and some crazy environments.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 98 sampled reviews raised it
Highly cinematic, incredibly looking, short, French student game bathed in vivid, colourful lighting and really polished environments, that massively undersells iself by describing it as "Backrooms-inspired" because while this may be true, these wonderful 18 minutes are so much more, aesthetically speaking.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 98 sampled reviews raised it
The shining thing ABEL has to offer is some pretty visuals and some very very good sound design.
