Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
This follows the pattern for a lot of other Spiders games that I have played, such as Of Orcs and Men, Bound by Flame and Mars War Logs, ambitious with interesting writing, but janky with a low budget.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The voice acting and characters are serviceable, nothing irritating but not much really stands out as super memorable.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The Technomancer is a bit hard to categorize for me on Steam... because it starts well, the graphics are alright and there are some area which is really good looking.
