Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
196 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Without spoiling the story, it was really good, although a certain big background plot point that becomes important later didn't really hook me that much, to be honest; the characters kept me thoroughly engaged.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are nice, the music is good, and the gameplay is alright with some mini-games to keep you engaged.
Graphics

The graphics are gorgeous, and you’ll find yourself standing still and admiring the view that the small town has to offer as you explore.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What I got was a weird, cozy, funny, melancholy, sharply written game with a fantastic art style, a great soundtrack, and a tone that shifts in ways I did not see coming.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Nearly everything about this game is unsurpassed; Its visual design, scenic design, character design, sound design, (I've written design so many times!) and most importantly, its narrative.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I played almost all of my time on the steam deck and it worked flawlessly (not surprisingly).
