Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
23 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
The game is beautiful, the atmosphere is great, and the story is engaging (although short), with the delicate theme and context it is inserted into being handled with a lot of care.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
16 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
One of the most interesting ideas the game introduces IMHO is the concept of some people exploring the caves being forgotten by everyone, and I think it could have been explored much more.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
The lighting and shadows were important to get right given that they're woven into many aspects of the game, and I thought they were surprisingly well done, especially given the more retro aesthetics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack didn't seem very long but it's fabulous (S-tier main theme and save room music!), and the ambient sounds, monster noises, etc. helped immerse me in the setting.
