The art style for inside the book really gives off that childhood storybook vibe, and the same goes for outside the book which gives a strong “Toy Story” feel for the environments and characters.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the OST is pretty varied, the instrumentation centers around jangly acoustic guitar, lively percussion (lots of chimes, xylophones, and tambourine), and woodwinds in peaceful settings but shifts to faster tempoed strings, drums, and the occasional sitar for tenser moments
