Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
While the atmosphere is very unique when it comes to visual novels, the writing is super repetitive and the number of hours I put in (about 10 hrs including offline time) really isn't indicative about the amount of real substance it has.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art style and music are fantastic, and I really wish there was more to the game as it did end up being quite good.
