Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

It was a technical marvel with its visuals while running at 60FPS, and I still come back to it every now and then despite its flawed design gameplay-wise.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 186 sampled reviews raised it
The “main villain” of the story has like the coolest look ever, the lighting and rain effects both look really nice, and the game sounds amazing; with both an unforgettable soundtrack and excellent voice acting. ...now let's move onto the bad.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
11 of 186 sampled reviews raised it
There was certainly room for improvement here, but thanks to the consistent 60 fps (or more depending on your system) and the dense, gloomy atmosphere, this is the perfect start for people who want a horror-lite experience.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
8 of 186 sampled reviews raised it
This game is GREAT on the steam deck and the developer was kind enough to let the audience know that it plays perfectly on the Deck despite it being unsupported (currently).
