Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The performances are either really serious, believably honest, or hammed up so much you can't help but fall in love with them. the stand outs easily being the characters of Paul and Ryan; Paul being the older and clearly more experienced actor, marvellously portraying the role of the old, evil British "gentleman" and Ryan, whose actor you can tell was having an absolute ball of a time playing this hammy, shady and larger than life character.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise 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.

The detective mechanic is easy to follow once you know how, and there are sufficient clues to help you along without making it too easy.
