Beautiful graphics and one can recognize a small element of horror as you solve the puzzles and learn the reality of the mystery.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I also appreciated the difficulty curve, which ramps up thoughtfully, and the hint system that helps without spoiling the fun.
Audio

20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design, the creak of floorboards, and distant ticking, is the unsung hero that keeps the tension high.

6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Tactile interaction remains the primary hook, as the click-and-drag mechanics successfully translate touchscreen origins into an immersive mouse-based interface.
