Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A game about hope decently told, featuring many different visuals that help to immerse more in the atmosphere, and characters voiced by text-to-speech technology (I personally dislike artificial voice-overs, but luckily they can be disabled in the settings).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It looks great and I see so many artists that I like have very obviously inspired this game so I really like that, but when neither the gameplay nor narrative is fun I sadly must say that I do not care enough about the visuals to properly enjoy this.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some video games we play because they have an addicting gameplay loop.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its strength comes from the atmosphere, sound design, music, pacing, and especially that overwhelming sense of isolation.
