Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Instead, the player character cannot be hurt by the horrors around them: you are a mental health professional moving safely through patients' unique simulated mindscapes that symbolically reflect specific traumas through terrifying but physically harmless environments, filled with meaningful clues that reveal each patient's trauma/story to help them begin to heal.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay-wise, Nevermind plays like your standard first-person adventure game made with Unity.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are beautiful, however just a heads up I'm playing on an i7 4790k, GTX 780, and 16GB of RAM and at 1920x1200 ( had to play windowed because of my 3440x1440 display) it ran worse than Battlefront does when I play BF @ 2560x1080 @ medium settigns, and by worse I mean both Battlefront and Nevermind had my GPU @ 99% load.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
First impressions are important, and the fact that Nevermind first throws a piece of musac at you and only reveals its genuinely great soundtrack after that, is a poor choice on the part of the developers.
