The command line gameplay was fun and all 2 of the puzzles were interesting.
Linux compatibility

Was a pretty short but interesting game and it replicated the console interface really well, this must be how it feels to use Linux.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love the little bits of misdirection scattered throughout the game, the writing felt natural and intriguing, and I really liked the sights and sounds (really excellent sound design), but my experience with real terminal interfaces had me frustrated at the game's interface not allowing things like "cd ../../" or "ls directory".
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has a PS1 style graphics, which looks ugly, but works great to create a feeling of world where you don’t want to stay long.
