Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise 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.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The riddles and puzzles never exceed the difficulty shown in the demo (such as the statues puzzle): they make you search for a solution that turns out to be logical and fair, without being frustrating or overly complex.
