Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
But if you’re looking for a slower, more narrative-driven horror experience with a strong atmosphere and constant tension, there’s still something here worth experiencing... just be ready to wrestle with a few technical and design quirks along the way.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The story is very interesting and it is massively helped by the fantastic music and great voice work.
