Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Only real positive is that you bump into a bunch of wacky characters who are somewhat memorable and can at least get a snort out of you but in a 20 min horror game it severely takes away from the horror aspect.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The voice acting of certain characters (not all) is phenomenal and very immersive.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Old PS graphics look cool, but aren't exactly unique nowadays.
