Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
though it may be short, it is not without reason. the small dev team puts a lot of love and personality in this game through its presentation which does so much more to help the player familiarize themselves with the character and better understand the severity of what they're going through. the disparity between the main characters art style and the background signifies her dissociative tendencies and the soundtrack, though mainly being gloomy and melancholic, often changes abruptly during intense emotions or mental breakdowns into these very unnerving repeated melodies which really personalize what Iris is going through at every step of the story.
