Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Choice of the Deathless is a "Choose Your Own Adventure"-style gamebook with an interesting setting, a well-designed narrative structure, meaningful decisions with many different paths to choose from, and a writing style that is generally pretty good but has some peculiarities that drive me up the wall.

The narrative structure is nicely designed and feeds into engaging gameplay.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Now, I understand that the prospect of a text only, choose your own adventure game on Steam sounds mad, especially considering the current age of gaming, where titles are often harshly, and mostly unfairly, judged by how they look and how impressive their visuals are.
