Story telling is cool but not detail as is should be, funny reference to say the least the puzzle is simple yet effective, good material use of enviroment, english subtitle is not accurate as the vietnam text on those picture and text when i play around, the attention to detail is good but need to work on those paper like for the player to read it, i though it was graphics setting but not it as i set it to high or low i still can't read the words on the door and those dept payment paper.
