Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Overall, the level design and monster design is top notch, and the gradual trudge through the story as you uncover more clues and bits of lore kept me coming back so I could see it through to the end.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
graphics look decent enough to accomplish what the game sets out to do - spooky environments, and nice character designs; friendly characters are cute, and the monsters are creepy and weird looking
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The only thing that I would mention is to get it on sale, since the regular price point is rather high for the amount of play time you get, coupled with the lack of ideal features such as voice acting, replayability, and music.

Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Note: If you can, play with a controller, not a keyboard.
