Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Right now for the game to be fun enough to play and test more, it needs far more intelligent and unpredictable enemies or events, an actual loot system where what you do and don't take actually matters, a well-thought out survival system like The Long Dark (that game's mechanics and weather system alone make for natural moments of terror), some wind sound effects here and there, and actual reasons to be scared and hide other than "oops spotted, better hide for less than five seconds before resuming exactly what I was doing before".

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Honestly no idea if fading vs strong motes make a difference, Let me upgrade my inventory to hold more stuff, since almost everything had health but food got scarce, took a long time to realize my second bar wasn't only hunger but also stamina, I want to quicksave wherever so that if I'm about to climb a ladder I can reload and give up on it.
