Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I really like this genre, and I like slow paced games that allow you to gradually discover new places and rifle through drawers and cabinets looking for secrets while a story builds around you.
126 of 207 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
There is constant stuttering when traversing the world which seems related to dynamically loading assets and not intensive graphics.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I found that element of the gameplay satisfying and useful for keeping track of the numerous bits and pieces of storyline that you discover as you explore.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
+ The sound effects were top tier, the screeching of the metal doors, the noises of the water and bubbles

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Thalassa has a fun system in which discovered "clues" are added to a sort of inventory and can be combined to solve "mysteries" on an inquiry map.
