Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
112 of 191 sampled reviews raised it
The Centennial Case is definitely worth playing for the story, which is the best of any FMV game I’ve played, but because of those gameplay flaws I would recommend waiting for a sale.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 191 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack, by Yuki Hayashi- known for My Hero Academia among other things- is fantastic and really amps up dramatic moments in the story.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 191 sampled reviews raised it
These sequences are highly polished, with meticulous attention to costume, lighting, and set design that evoke the atmosphere of each time period.
