Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The story itself is pretty basic, though - it's the same trope all over again where you need to stop a bad guy from doing whatever they want.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Images look more realistic compared to Artifex Mundi games since it doesn't have dimmed lighting, giving a steampunk vibe with the robots and old pieces of machinery.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Most of the gameplay is pretty straightforward, and the game's features to show hints on what you should do to an object and a button to show all interactable objects are very helpful.

In fact, I finished both the game and bonus content in 2.6h in the easiest difficulty.
