Quick thoughts: This game is a cute game with a story that I wish we saw more of.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I REALLY wanted to like this game: its core mechanic is brilliant and well-executed, and the puzzles are generally challenging without being frustrating (with the exception of the key puzzle in The Spiral), and the graphics are gorgeous.
