Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It feels like an old school arcade game with updated atmospheric color penciled graphics.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
My personal favourite part of this game is how well the hand-drawn art-style, the limited lighting at further depths and the ambient soundtrack succeed at creating a truly surreal and unnerving atmosphere.
