Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
81 of 242 sampled reviews raised it
Such a funny story line and characters. 10 hours to finish it, you will not need a walk through to have all the achievements, which is very rare these days.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
41 of 242 sampled reviews raised it
Music and sound effects are good, the background music never gets irritating.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Darkestville Castle's visual style sets it apart from the conventional 3D graphics that are becoming the rule of thumb for the genre, sadly.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
25 of 242 sampled reviews raised it
Smooth gameplay and lots of campy humor provide a nice "in-between" snack for fans of the genre, although at full price, roughly 7-8 hours of gameplay and little replay value might be too little value-for-money for some.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.

Same applies to the subtitles and so far I’ve only spotted a single typo in my entire playthrough.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 242 sampled reviews raised it
The easy difficulty helps keep a high pace on the story progress, and the less obvious interactions usually have funny results.
