Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The simplicity of the visuals mirrors the simplicity of the gameplay, creating a perfect symmetry between design and emotion.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The story is abstract enough to still be interesting and not too confusing.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
For starters, I love the eerie and anxiety inducing atmosphere from both the sound design and visuals, which fits into the main game-play loop really well as it helps to build the tension you feel whilst playing it.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
A bit repetitive in the end, but the atmosphere and the sound design was really good and scary (I recommend playing with headphones on).
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Hard mode was something where you would lose a lot despite trying to optimise it the best you could, with a heavy reliance on luck, and it worked well for people who wanted to have more of a thrill as well as a harder challenge.
