Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
All my cons are pretty negligible, in my opinion and should not dissuade you from trying it out if you like this genre and the art style.

+ Some replayability, but it's not terribly in-depth

- Could have had some better sound effects, but again, that's me being nit-picky

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Gameplay wise, sometimes, it feels kinda unfair for both yourself and the monsters, it doesn't feel like a game of hide and seek/run, but a game of tag, where sometimes the monster won't get out of the path that is the only way for you to advance, the puzzle aspect of the game is pretty solid, there is nothing that will make you think too hard, and not too little, the candels aspect is very good, and makes replayability more fun, the save system is kinda hard if you think too much, but not a real problem, the game gives you enough to stay pretty comfortable.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The game is awsome, so many things that just bring up the horror, the music is spot on, i feel like i need to start the game fast or something will get me on the menu screen haha, the design of the monsters are very good, the goats, if you take out the dog sounds they make, one of the most scariest things in the game, the red guy is awsome, the sidecharacters are perfect, some of them not so much, like the old woman, or the merchant, but Giulia, Hans and the goatkeeper are very spot on.
