Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
116 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Especially Tips-section had some great content, and, even though it's the least essential chapter so far, has some dry filler and is more like an overpriced (it's cheaper than ch. 1-3 but still) bonus DLC-scenario, it Does provide some neat information (and it's a fine little story) so I do recommend checking it out.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The tone shift, side-story, and new character are all pretty interesting, and while the usual gore that I love so much isn't a factor in this one, it still managed to be creepy on a few occasions.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music and sound design heighten this effect, using delicate piano motifs and eerie ambient tracks to set the tone.
