The gameplay is fun and makes you constantly second guess yourself on whether that book was there or not.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

I also loved the approach to lives, difficulty levels and the way you had to indicate you found anomalies.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay loop is fun, and the ending is intense and much more rewarding than a simple "you win" screen.

9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The minimal sound design also helps, with some anomalies producing subtle noises and others remaining completely silent.
