Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
In all its simplicity with the fitting jazz tunes, the beautiful visuals and the authentic feeling of the wonderful voice acting; It just all added up for me, I can only conclude I absolutely loved it to bits.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Out of love for their lost band member, they want to play a final goodbye concert as a tribute to Nina, whose spirit you will play as while guiding your former group through dealing with these emotions and lighting their way in the dark forest to the stage.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
This is another thing that I think was good in theory, I think you had the tools and the gameplay to make an interesting level design, but ultimately I feel like you didn't take advantage of it.
