I appreciated the intro with it's long walk to the house which builds the atmosphere somewhat.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 70 sampled reviews raised it
The entire first half is incredibly immersive: you immediately get pulled into the atmosphere, the visuals are beautiful, and the overall technical execution is very solid.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 70 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is good and builds the tension in places, however I do think the ghostly crashing about is overdone and the dread wears off over time.
