Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Even though it's mostly a narrative game with some religious undertones, the visual experience for me was the best part of the game, I thought the characters were interesting, but the core dialogue gameplay felt a little slow, very lengthy conversations with not much cognitive requirement from the player.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Rather than relying on traditional action or complex gameplay systems, it focuses on storytelling, character interaction, and philosophical exploration.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Lovely dreamcore/surrealism vibes, apparently the environment art was done by the one and only Colorfiction (zero-north-zero-west), I assume both 3D and 2D backgrounds, or just 3D parts, I instantly recognized the art style in the first person sections, didn't even have to look at the credits.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
(+) Soundtrack was also just amazing, big highlight for the game and overall immersion, just beautiful melancholy vibes from start to finish.
