Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Looks and sounds beautiful, but when it comes to "gameplay" the only interaction you're going to get out of this game is typing in the puzzle solution.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The visuals are designed with that in mind, deprived of color and motion, to the end that it would be most befitting to an exhibition: clean, static and to certain extent, reverable.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
This is an immersive game with a brilliant sound track and amazingly fun puzzles that will feel so rewarding once you have cracked them.
