Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
39 of 136 sampled reviews raised it
The story succeeds by moving between genuine mystery and deliberately exaggerated comedy without completely sacrificing either side.

Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 136 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are really stunning for the time; if I recall, this game was developed across 1993, published 1994.
Gameplay

Its marriage of first-person exploration, live-action cinematics, noir detective storytelling, science-fiction intrigue, comedy, and elaborate puzzles creates an experience that remains remarkably individual.
