The writing, as well, though I'm still early on- Question's storytelling remains extremely strong in all respects.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It's still in early access, so everything is understandably still a work in progress, especially on the voice acting front (though I'm still extremely happy with the Period English setting, for what is there).

The gothic visuals, audio, and language lend to an immersive experience putting you in the shoes of the Maven as they unravel the story and try to save the family.
