Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I love pretty much everything about this game, the general story, the music, the art, the setting (the worldbuilding is incredible - this really feels like it takes place in a fully fleshed version of the future we're currently heading for - it's my favorite cyberpunk setting).
236 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Loses to Ace Attorney in terms of music, humor, climax buildup, and overall content: I took 15 hours for full completion while reading everything carefully, and naturally there is minimal replayability (like AA and other purely linear visual novel games).

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I liked the characters and the art style a lot.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Music and sound design - Music is also good, it fits the setting nicely and knows when and when not to go more dramatic.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
It's very clear that this is inspired by Danganronpa to a certain degree - 2D sprites in 3D environments, "quirky" art style (still don't know how to feel about the spiky eyes), a lot of animated HUD elements, the track name display in the upper right with a visualiser and so on.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The mysteries themselves are really good, but a bit too easy in some areas.
