Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The ending also has me torn on it being unsatisfying as it does leave some things unresolved and ends abruptly (feeling like there was more) but at the same time it makes sense considering the character you play.
145 of 207 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The visuals are generally great and very stylistic.
51 of 207 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
There isn't really a full voice acting, only a few gasps, grunts and one-word phrases in places being spoken (like "What?"), which are a nice addition of course as it helps to immerse us a bit.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay follows the classic structure of point-and-click adventure titles, where players explore various environments, interact with characters, and gather clues or objects needed to progress.
27 of 207 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Luckily, the former wasn’t too hard to figure out by just playing with it and the latter didn’t matter too much since you really only needed to find a name (and even then the vast majority of it was translated) and you could tell what the French text meant by context.
