Update: the devs pushed out a substantial update that addressed some of the big criticisms from the community, specifically the formulaic exploration and one-dimensional approach to the combat, adding a bit more nuance to those.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 69 sampled reviews raised it
It does a few things well, specifically the creature design was almost perfect, I liked all of the monsters, sound effects were good, and some parts of the level design were not terrible either.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 69 sampled reviews raised it
The devil is in the details - small visual choices, sound design, lighting, and environmental storytelling create tension without relying on excessive jump scares or spectacle.
