Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
216 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's nicely and subtly written, and Kathy quickly becomes a more believable and complex character than before, with a genuinely emotional ending that truly leaves me wanting more of these characters.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The production values are high, with incredibly beautiful pixel graphics, good actors and great soundtrack, topping the already good prequel, but it's in the gameplay that it really separates itself from its predecessor.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The notebook mechanic is one of the best implementations I've seen in the genre.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As a fan of pixel art, I absolutely loved the visuals — detailed, beautiful, and consistent.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Amazing story, great visuals, moderate difficulty makes it not boring but not too challenging so you don't get stuck.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game mechanic is the same kind of investigative interrogations and minor inventory puzzles, but sharper: the detective work is nicely integrated into the interaction with the environment/suspects, and the challenges are perfectly balanced.
