Gameplay

83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game appeared to be an interesting little indie adventiure game based on running through mazes, collecting clues, solving puzzles, etc. all while telling a rich story, through gameplay and abstract symbolism.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Some might say that Dear Esther could be given the same criticism, however DE is a much richer experience, immerseive in its beautifully exectued graphics and sound desgin which (with a little help from headphones and a dark room) can transport the player into the setting giving them a large sense of immersion.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also the soundtrack is fantasic, whoever made it should be given alot of credit for really creating an intense atmosphere while playing the game, the intro song is really good and the slower melodies really strike a cord in me, I don't know why but the soundtrack is ideal for the overall theme and tone the game wanted you to feel.
