Eerie, melancholic atmosphere shapes the game's mood.
Music, sound design, and voice performances shape the mood.

Cons

Brief campaign with limited replay incentive.
Puzzles remain relatively easy throughout the game.
Story uses symbolism and intentionally ambiguous presentation.
Later puzzles reuse the same formula.
