Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
127 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Pouring over journal entries, notes and clippings unveils a dark plot whose connections to a possible occult force really grips you, and though this game's ending may not be as magnanamous as its core story, I feel it perfectly encapsulates that sense of "fear of the unknown" beautifully.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised 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.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Atmosphere: definitely where the game is at it's best; the visuals, although low resolution and noticeably old, hold up very well and the whole place feels astonishingly real.
