Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
In the music and sound department, the game also performs fairly well, all dialogue options (of which there are quite a lot) being fully voice acted and featuring subtle background music and sound effects.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visually, one cannot help but think that this could actually be an original LucasArts game, featuring the exact same pixelated art style like many of the classics and a UI that most closely resembles that of Monkey Island 1&2 and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
While the first part of the game focuses really heavy on the classic point & click adventure style of gameplay (which it does really well, by the way, mixing it up with a few puzzles with different mechanics), it all of a sudden turns into more of an action-adventure game once you get past a certain point in Innsmouth.
