Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Taking strong inspiration from the works of HP Lovecraft, this game's heart lies in its writing and backstory.
135 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It gave me the right kind of horror experience I liked, with a gripping story, decent exploratory puzzles, amazing soundtrack, haunting ideas, and leaves me wanting more.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are also quite good for a game of this age.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Most importantly, though, there's a new feature (in your inventory you'll find a pretty useful journal, in which our character will keep all the notes about what happened so far), Easter eggs, an alternative ending I've already mentioned above and... some sort of an extra chapter.
