Pure joy to play and while replayability looks possible I'll need to wait a while so the story feels fresh again.
Audio

24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Every case unfolds inside a dimly lit bar where secrets spill as easily as cocktails, and the soundtrack hums in the background softly.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I appreciate the inclusivity in character design, character motivation, character gender and orientation, and how the game contends with important concepts - such as sexism, xenophobia, fascism, and classism.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's also great accessibility controls and difficulty sliders so you can customize the game to your style of play.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are charming and the "puzzles" - pouring the drinks - is quite easy to master (although, amusingly, sometimes it's fun to be bad).
