Sound effects were clearly chosen very carefully, as every action from making a menu selection to opening a backpack sounds great. Also very important is that the contact of a blade with a body sounds absolutely nasty, adding weight behind every attack. The sound design adds to the game's atmosphere, with top quality sound effects and mood setting atmospheric background music. Both the character and environment design is flawless in its contribution to the game’s atmosphere and overall feel, providing an incredibly convincing dark tone. The characters, especially all of the enemies, look awesome and terrifying, and the corpses that they leave behind are equally disgusting and gruesome. The entire game is drawn in a beautifully grim illustrated style. The artstyle of the game immediately drew my attention.
