Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Not to be missed if you enjoy a casual pace and a super engaging story in an atmospheric space ship/station environment that includes some - but not too many puzzles with light to moderate challenge.
63 of 134 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are alright, some scenes look very nice, others merely ok, due to compression and the resolution I play at the video transitions look terrible (I also spoted one immersion breaking graphical glitch in the cafeterria).
32 of 134 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The controls are abysmal, even with an options menu for them, the mouse controls are completely bonkers, they *need* a "normal mouse" checkbox, and there are no convience features I often see in similar style games (auto save, arrow key navigation, some transitions (via doors) take too long, etc).

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Voice acting is on the whole superb, and scriptwriting was on point all the way through.
20 of 134 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
While ending B feels satisfying, game development around the story's conclusion felt a little rushed compared to the higher quality midgame storyline and gameplay, regardless of which of the two endings I chose.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The puzzles were appropriate to the game, being neither too difficult nor too hard, but in some instances they were a bit hidden which made progression difficult.
