Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But there's a paper trail to follow of journals, letters, paintings, drawings, and environments that help build a surprisingly engrossing "post-narrative".
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All in all, great game with a good 10-20 hours of gameplay depending on how quick you are with the puzzles (and how much of a completionist you tend to be!).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The production values were also solid, with crisp graphics, and music that was atmospheric enough to still be soothing even after several hours of playing.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The artwork and ost is supurb with plenty of ingame options to adjust settings.
