Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The way that the story is written and that the game lets you connect the puzzle together with scrapbooks and exploration is absolutely amazing.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Yes, the graphics are absolutely astonishing, and for 10 GB is really surprising; usually game remakes are always AT LEAST 50 GB OR SOMETHING.

I also want to absolutely appreciate the sound design for this game.
