Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
201 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What lies beneath great art direction and an interesting premise is ultimately a meandering story wrought with illogical and annoying puzzles, and drawn out animations that you will watch over and over.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game’s cinematography enhances the feeling of watching a noir film unfold, complete with carefully framed shots and moody lighting.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Very dark and depressing but also very funny in a dead pan way that only police officers who are desensitised to horrific crimes can be. what follows is around 8 to 10 hours of enjoyable puzzle solving and exploration through different locations all memorable and come with their own unique personality.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I thought the music, sound effects and voice acting were all really good, although some scenes were completely silent which again can be quite jarring.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I found Victoria's halve of the game to be the most enjoyable as she was an engaging and funny character with many other interesting characters around her (e.g. Claire), there were nice locations and interesting varied puzzles.
