Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
However, the biggest difference here is in terms of how the story progresses where we are treated to cutouts and pop-ups much like a comic book!

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art style is presented as a monochrome comic book and appears to be highly inspired by Junji Ito works.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack is incredible too, and combined with the visual effects creates a tense and chilling atmosphere during certain moments.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
As for the soundtrack, I wasn't too fond of them (will elaborate later) but the main menu theme which is reminiscent of the PS1 startup music was serene and haunting at all once.
