Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When it comes to the story, this is one of the first games to attempt the whole "sentient program" trope and it does it masterfully.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a horror game that truly messes with your mind, not only in atmosphere and gameplay, but in the actions that it performs outside of the game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is a game that does great things with simple mechanics and visuals.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's also no real soundtrack to speak of, rather the game relies heavily on sound effects; this is a hard stunt to pull off, but in this case it works wonderfully.
