Also while I found many more questions to think of each play through I received little in the way of story progress or answers to any of the questions the game gives me.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I had quite a few laughs throughout the game, I think one of the most funny things where (SPOILER) when I critized the soundtrack, I regretted that a few seconds later when the game just muted all sounds, I went back to maybe apologize and get my sounds back, but I later found out it was muted in the options screen.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The graphics are an amusing throwback to classic snes gaming days that fit the topic surprisingly well, and the core gameplay of tracking down all the unconventional ways to end the 'groundhog day' loop is an amusing trek in of itself, even as you get drawn into discovering the strange people who make up the town of Phobos.

The music is nice and the graphics are alright as far as pixel graphics go.
