Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
132 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The actors are decent-to-great and the dialogue works almost all of the time, although the lead character's expressiveness borders on immersion-breaking at points.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The contradiction gameplay is fun, makes you feel involved and a little bit like a real detective
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Even if they don't have anything to do with the investigation, these character moments add a lot of personality.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It ran great on the Steam Deck, no crashes or difficulty reading text.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Nearly everyone else are talking heads in a small setpiece but they cram in a ton of emotion and some wonderful voice acting so it's very impressive.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You'll almost certainly fall in love with the charming main character Jenks ("does THIS mean anything to you?"), and it's also especially fun to grabe some friends to watch you play.
