Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I played using a mouse and keyboard (mostly mouse, used Keyboard's 'Enter' for the dialogue because my mouse is hyperactive with clicking) and beat the game in about 14 hours.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I can't say how the game is made in another language, but the german voice acting was very pleasant for me.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
What most likely seemed like a good game on paper (a medieval fantasy setting and a basic mystery to build a story around, decent graphics, nice music and sound effects) turned out to be a sub par game due to its meager story, its lack of interesting characters, its awful voice acting and the fact that too many situations will have you searching for a walkthrough to look up the far-fetched or completely illogical solution.
