Pros
Pro Stealth is not forced
Players can choose how they play as stealth is not a prerequisite, players can run and gun if they feel like or even go around setting traps.
Pro Movement is precise and empowering
Movement is very fluid in the game and works very well, which is needed for a platformer. It is fun jumping around and there are no consequences when falling too far, so it allows for plenty of experimenting on where one can travel in a level.
Pro Cute story told backwards with an unexpected happy ending
The main story is actually told backwards, ala the movie Memento. While not the most original concept, still a cool way to tell a story. In the end there is quite the happy ending that will result in many tears being shed.
