Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
for a game with like 3 different sides to the gameplay, you would hope at least one of them would land.
93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game also has a kind of lore and an ending (there are even two endings, and you can see both without any problem).

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I think around the $5 price point it's a fine experience for say 10 to 15 hours if you like clicker/idler games and the overall art style/vibe (which ties in more with the small point and click adventure portion).

Can't wait for the soundtrack to be available to the supporter edition.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Really great atmosphere, maybe felt a little short, i did finish it across the span of two days but thats more of testament to how engaging and fun it is, the puzzles are really well made, clever, and intuitive without feeling too easy, i definitely think its a worthy purchase for the very reasonable price, highly recommend
