17 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is detailed enough that you don't have to worry about pixel hunting and in the very early game you are prevented from leaving areas until you've uncovered the information/items you need to continue, to get you used to methodically clearings screens.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
16 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
The game offers an interesting mechanic as well: we can choose between 4 different mood interactions when interrogating someone.
Audio

14 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
The game isn't voiced but there's an excellent soundtrack and good sound effects as well.
