Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
112 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Without saying it is the most compelling plot I ever witnessed in the genre, the voice acting is solid, and the prose is subtle enough to be both good at exposition, while remaining somewhat mysterious.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
69 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The movement mechanics and puzzle interaction was usually pretty good and intuitive, with logic helping in figuring out what most of them were without outside help.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also, it says a lot when this game still looks amazing after playing on a potato computer like me where you need to put all of the graphics settings on low to squeeze out some optimal frames.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I actually think this game is in the pocket difficulty-wise for a kid who likes puzzle games.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Other than that, the voice acting is mediocre but the music is good.
