What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I think the reason I was quite so smitten is because the game took seriously both the obligation to deliver a good parlor mystery in the mold of an Agatha Christie and an interesting story that leveraged its setting's place and time in a way that was almost pedagogical.
You are a clairvoyant who can get impressions of people's past by looking at their portrait photos, but you need to have something to anchor your impressions - so the gameplay involves figuring out the timeline by matching people to locations at specific timestamps, looking at the objects they used, etc.
I genuinely cannot believe that it's free, given the lovely graphics, elaborate game interface (cf. a purely text-based game) and expected playtime.
The difficulty was pitched perfectly - I had to make use of the built-in hints a couple of times, mainly when picking up the second stage of the story at the plantation, and they were always enough to get things moving again.

Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No themes split opinion in this sample.
No recurring complaints surfaced in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
