Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
And the first thing chronologically I noticed that made me love this game was that the 3D graphics are trapped in that amazing era where they are utterly comical no matter how hard they try, which could not possibly be less appropriate for Call of Cthulhu, but somehow that adds to the whole bonkers throw-so-much-in-a-blender-and-drink-whatever-comes-out approach the team took in designing this game.
