Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
52 of 224 sampled reviews raised it
The anthology structure keeps the experience varied, but it also means that an intriguing scenario can conclude before its characters or concepts have been explored as deeply as they could be.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 224 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are a 10/10 for me, and of course... the CAT!!!
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
13 of 224 sampled reviews raised it
Controller support and its exploration-focused design are encouraging for handheld play, but an absence of an official compatibility designation means players should not assume flawless operation.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 224 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design also does a lot of work in creating tension because quiet rooms and distant noises can be more effective than constant loud scares.
