The transition between the story and gameplay is done well to make you not get bored with them.
Gameplay

36 of 180 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay in many way feels like a love letter to the popular horror movie Friday the 13 (more specifically that infamous NES game), we must collect various objects and diary notes which unravel further about the story and ultimately putting an end to this madness, while trying to avoid the killer bear And the game doesnt kid around with the difficulty: 2 hits and you are dead.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
24 of 180 sampled reviews raised it
The story is engaging enough to keep you pushing through the game and the difficulty isn't so bad that you can't handle things.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 180 sampled reviews raised it
The game also looks pretty nice for pixel art, with plenty of stomach churning gore and solid sound effects that sell the gruesome atmoshere (unfortunately, Jez's whiny and casual way of dealing with things often cuts the atmospheric effect off short; seriously, he goes to search a dead body and acts annoyed that he has to do it, rather than disgusted or horrified).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 180 sampled reviews raised it
These retro graphics for an RPG, are polished and nice, even though you will most likely be in darkness for the majority of the game, it's not difficult to travel around places, which is a huge plus for me.The music that does play is reminiscent of classic horror movie music and fits the game very well.
