Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Playne has a story, but it's existence as a tool pretty much means that while there is a definitive "ending" there really isn't a reason to stop, should you choose, to continue.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Soft lighting, gentle color palettes, and flowing environmental animations work together to create a space that feels inviting rather than stimulating.

I personally use good quality headphones, and the sound is quite relaxing and conducive to meditation.
