When I first heard about this game from Alpha Beta Gamer in June of 2020; The graphics and the plot hook were quite salivating.

This is a how a Walking Simulator 101 looks like, the graphics are visually stunning which will draw you in the buy the game, I wouldn't say this is miss leading but the game doesn't have a lot to stand on other than is visuals and sounds.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The environments here have been made with meticulous care, the atmospheric audio design really draws you in (even the protagonist’s sighs seem almost deliberately paced), all the art made for the game is striking, and the soundtrack is simply haunting.
