This is a weirdly well-made game, in the sense that its visual quality fluctuates heavily, I don't know if that's intentional but it adds to the story. It's a very interesting art style.
And by that I mean that the texture quality is great yet it's badly tiled the terrain is pretty low-poly. Some models are very detailed and some are not. It feels like the perfect representation of a B-game, but not in a bad way, I think that it just makes it even more mysterious and it feels more "off" than say a horror AAA game which just doesn't feel as honest I guess.
I believe that less "loved" and less visually appealing things have a deeper meaning to them.
The soundtrack of this game is awesome and it fits perfectly with the emotion each scene is trying to convey.
The game takes place in a medieval age, which isn't that common for a horror game, they usually take place in the present or the 80s/90s.
The story is a perfect tragedy, one that shows the harsher reality of the world, it doesn't give the player any satisfaction from it, there's no happy ending, just emptiness, similar to the art style which is just not beautiful to look at, because it shouldn't be.
In short, the story just feels very real, the medieval theme adding to that, since obviously people were dying left and right then and it was considered normal. Nothing is beautiful in it, because it shouldn't be, it's the furthest thing from comfort.
