Speaking of points, this game also has a still-moderately-unique method of handling checkpoints - collect enough points (rather, blood), and you'll be able to place a checkpoint, which will also recover lost health; having this checkpoint ready doubles your point rewards in most cases, incentivizing sparing use in order to get the high end-of-level ranks.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This has really cute pixel art in the story cut-scenes and very low-res pixel art in the gameplay.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Plenty of the visuals and what little written dialogue there is pulls from classic horror, from Edgar Allan Poe to renowned Welshman-hater H.P.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

They Bleed Pixels has some really nice horror aesthetic going on, with some really lovely art and a great soundtrack.
