Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
31 of 242 sampled reviews raised it
The result is a short yet powerful journey that manages to convey feelings of fear, isolation, and vulnerability through its world design and atmosphere rather than through traditional narrative or dialogue.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
26 of 242 sampled reviews raised it
As someone who suffers from mental illness I enjoyed much of the early gameplay and it lifted my heart to see someone raising the issue.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
16 of 242 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are intentionally simple, with slightly off-kilter proportions and dreamlike textures that reinforce the surreal tone.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 242 sampled reviews raised it
These levels are based entirely of those such as emptiness, anxiety, depression, and paranoia and more, as though 6 levels, each inspired by real life obstacles we experience with the environment being something people who suffer though can relate too and even with a slow and calming soundtrack to give it a tone and atmosphere that it gives off is truly immersive.
