Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
80 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
The early-1900s detective-noir atmosphere is extremely well captured, and the story becomes engaging quickly enough to make me want to understand the underlying semiosis behind it.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
34 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is fluid and well-paced, and the music and sound effects are equally well executed.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design complements this tone with subtle ambient noise and a melancholic score that underscores the gravity of Morley’s final investigation without overwhelming it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 137 sampled reviews raised it
I genuinely enjoyed this game, even though it is rather short, but not too much, and features graphics that feel closer to something from around 2015, while still remaining modern and visually pleasant.
