Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
42 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
So far, although the mechanics are all very coherent and purposeful, the game doesn't seem all that enticing, right?
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
26 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
My philosophy on this is that there are some instances in which a game may not necessarily have that much in the way of gameplay (take Amnesia for example), but the story/atmosphere/whatever it may be is reason enough to pick it up.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
And it is this sound design that makes Capsule what it is: an experience much more so than a game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
CAPSULE is truly a little gem, behind its simple graphics and premise you'll find an engaging journey where tension and a constant sense of dread will be your only companions.
