OVERALL: 8/10

Graphics / Sound: 10/10
+ Atmospheric and appropriate score
+ Well-done graphics with plenty of things to look at
+ The "monsters" have good design
+ Voice acting is consistently smooth


Story: 9/10
+ Well-written plot with intelligent, but not insulting vocabulary
+ Good back and forth with the characters (against each other and against self)
* For the length of the game, the plot seems a bit rushed and this
leaves some details difficult to understand or see (intentionally?)


Gameplay: 7/10
* The grand majority of the game is a linear path and becomes shorter as a result
* Some chase sequences, but the enemy seems faster than the player's maximum speed
* Basic puzzles with "trial and error" mechanics and object placement
* Some puzzles offer environment manipulation, though

Fun Factor: 7/10
* Gameplay
+ Story
* Enemies
* Puzzles
? Modability

Disclaimer: My rating system is based on a process of finding whether the game itself works (programming, story, mechanics, etc); after that, personal gripes or taste can be explored. Even if I consistently like / do not like something, I would rather find a logical backup to why it may be good/bad instead of just giving a high/low score. There is no perfect mix of objective and subjective ratings, so while a number score may be important to some, remember that games are about the experience instead.
