Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The atmosphere is the perfect blend of unsettling and cozy, the graphics give that almost analog/early 2000s feel, and the characters are just fleshed out enough to keep you interested without the story overstaying its welcome.
