Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I know this may be extremely unfair to say, but the feeling I get from this game is that it tries to pull of that unique, weird and whacky yet awesome art style and atmosphere that Amanita Design (Samorost2, Machinarium, Botanicula) pull off so well.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It's a fantastic little adventure complemented by a beautiful art style, an excellent soundtrack, and oodles of style, grace, and humour that is sure to leave a smile on your face.
