Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It uses very simplistic story-telling and gameplay, coupled with one of the most gorgeous art-styles I know and heavy inspiration from both Buddhism and Hinduism and therefore has a huge spiritual undertone.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The score in Areia perfectly complements the emotional atmosphere the visuals achieve, ranging from unintrusive ambient melodies to fully vocalized songs that once more evoke an Indian / Oriental flair.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Release the Soundtrack as low(!)-prized DLC - I'm sure some would love it for their meditation playlist.
