Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
17 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
There are two very different campaigns and after six hours i am about 2/3 finished with my first one. 20-30 hours of classic, survival horror gameplay with a quality story and a really nice and spooky atmosphere is what you get when you buy this little indie gem.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
9 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
With the new updates it is quite stable (Only got stuck one time and had two crashes in 6 hours of gameplay so far) and being able to select combat and puzzle difficulty lets you fine-tune your experience.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are good with some very nice detail, especially with the gore.
