Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Proceeded to play it with my bf and we had a blast, reading the story out loud, making (strange amazing) voices for the characters and perishing in so many horrible ways >,<]

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
One notices right away that there are no sound effects or music, which are powerful and important tools for creating the appropriate atmosphere in any medium that is not restricted to visuals (or even just text) alone.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
(Though, I suppose that meant I could play Nightmare Music by Cryochamber while I played this, without feeling guilty about ignoring an inexistant OST :P).
