Characters that you meet are all unique and all have own look and vibe about them and all slightly creepy as in wouldn’t want to be alone with them.
Enemies that you meet are all unique in terms of look, attacks, and all have own moves.
Lots of items that you can pick up and find in the world and so many items you can combine into many different things from rags to heal to weapons and many more.
Challenging difficulty as games does not hold your hand and is very easy to die from many different causes.
