Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
One of the most unique games I've played in a long time, with stellar graphics and dread-inducing audio, if you have a free afternoon and want a burst of horror, this is the perfect game for that.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
30 ish minute game that barely plays on its biggest selling point(spatial audio and echolocation) with it's little runtime it tries to tell a story that seems to be about a dying of a star(?).

Gameplay

I love the core gameplay of the game, visuals, dynamics, it feels like a fresh and attractive formula that will make me revisit it plenty of times, a very good game to start this December :D
