Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
- you are used to / looking for something less story and attention/detail driven, something more casual to play for just couple of hours, as this game will take: 10+ hours to finish, lots of locations to go back and forth to multiple times, many tasks to do, which will force you to check and recheck something you might have missed or something, that may not be completely available for you before certain events in the game

- great soundtrack and music effects, that will perfectly compliment each dialog, cutscene and environment

Don't look at my hours, my mind likes to wander between gameplay.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
- lots of various puzzles and riddles with relatively easy to medium difficulty ( if you pay attention to everything ), that are part of what makes the game different and as fun to play
