Great game.The simple art style helps add to the creepy atmosphere, and the story is good as well.

It's an absolutely gorgeous game (the art anyway), with a pretty good soundtrack too.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I liked the gameplay, and I would defintely play it again if the catacomb had a tutorial or a map that worked, but right now it's just too difficult for me.
