The graphics are noted for their effective use of lighting and visuals, which create a sense of paranoia and enhance the overall mood of the game. The design cleverly utilizes minimal sound to complement the visual experience, contributing to an immersive atmosphere.
“Lighting and visuals are deceptively tailored to always bring paranoia to the player and rely on minimal sound design for effective mood setting.”
