Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The story also is uninteresting and ends abruptly, was nice to see some cut scenes though don't get that much with smaller indies, so I appreciate the effort.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It does a few things well, specifically the creature design was almost perfect, I liked all of the monsters, sound effects were good, and some parts of the level design were not terrible either.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
For some reason the game really holds your hand pretty much the entire game, when you open the inventory it will tell you exactly what to do 90% of the time, even solving most of the puzzles.
