Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
238 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the game isn’t challenging, and more of a narrative game with some interactivity added, the story, atmosphere, graphics and animation make up for it.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

I think some of the most powerful moments happen during her gameplay because it's hard not to feel sorry for a little kid when something horrible happens.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When it comes to the visuals there are so many beautiful moments that might be difficult to appreciate if you never tried to animate a sprite.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

I probably don't need to tell anyone that game looks very nice, as far as the pixel art goes it's about as good as you going to get, and it has a great soundtrack to complement it, although it didn't have that many locations to explore and change the scenery.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'm very conflicted here because Inmost's gameplay for the first half is mechanically solid with casual difficulty that's all elevated by immersive, detailed 2D art, but the 1-2 punch of a weaker second half into the denial of a final challenge is just too much to ignore.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As a game, a good "metroidvania-style" with very good level design and very clear paths, with the three playable characters having their strong points (Playing as the knight is incredibly satisfactory even if his moves are somewhat limited) and I was able to beat it without too much effort.
