Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
An interesting dystopian science fiction tale with philosophical overtones, narrated in short segments, each segment is triggered by moving around and locating a monolith in a vast 3 dimensional maze, the voice acting is excellent and the story imaginative.
