Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
If you want a game that's kind of a walking simulator, where you talk to a lot of npcs, investigate stuff by interacting with various things, is very cheap on sale (according to steamdb it goes for like 5 bucks), and experience a horror story that's not really scary imo buy this game.
