Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
64 of 135 sampled reviews raised it
In Sokal’s defense, the backgrounds are gorgeous and the story—even the dialogue—is everything you’d expect from a crime novel.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 135 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is great and the visuals are not too bad for a 2007 game, even though it is disappointing the character's mouths do not move when they talk.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 135 sampled reviews raised it
The art is extremely memorable, both outside, with richly detailed palm trees whipping against a rainy red sky as a Gothic skyscraper of a hotel rises in the background, and inside, with dim lighting and slowly cracking walls and floors casting a pallor on the empty gilded corridors.
