Story

114 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Complementing this already very respectable gameplay is what is easily the best story to be found in any short or medium incremental out there, perhaps even just any incremental period.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
106 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Better still is that this amount of gameplay is expected to increase quite significantly in the future.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The atmosphere this game manages to create with just some text, a minimal UI, and a soundtrack is pretty incredible I think, and the story so far has been SUPER compelling.
