Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
What i love about this game is the characters and the dialog are well done (except the dev self inserts).
91 of 280 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Also, the story tries to be dark in bits by either cursing or having “adult” content and it’s an interesting in theory because the art style is super cute (pour one out for juxtaposition).

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
If you've played any other video game, "esc" probably is the more natural way for you to access your inventory, but you can't use "esc" to bring up the backpack, only to put it away.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The art style and soundtrack play a stark contrast to the premise of the story; the protagonist, Nika, is a 7 year old girl with dreams of taking over the world due to her internalised conflict - that she tries to hide with a smile - for being neglected by all of the important people in her life.
