Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Some puzzles are tedious and at times not very intuitive, and some of the dialogue scenes go on soooooo much longer than necessary, often being repetitive, but the atmosphere is great, the audio (music, sound effects, some of the voice acting) is well done, and the overall story is engaging.

The sound design is terrific.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Other than the interesting static art displayed every now and then during gameplay, graphics are a bit ♥♥♥♥, but I feel it adds to the creepy charm of the title; I am unsure if the game would have maintained its unsettling atmosphere if it had juicy sprites and set pieces (or maybe it could, I don't know, but it's free so it doesn't really matter).
