Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I found it refreshing that it wasn't a survival or hide-in-a-closet type, I was free to enjoy the story and not stress about things.

-> For 2018 the graphics are pretty good for an Indie game.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The major progression mechanic here is puzzle solving, and while nearly all of them are extremely easy to overcome, none of them come across as overdone due to how they are masked; though their core inspirations come from many tried-and-true vanilla enigmas.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
There's one supporting character later on in the game that might make the player laugh awkwardly for all the wrong reasons (i.e. trying way too hard).
