I think if they spent a month or two more to eliminate glitches and smooth gameplay, it would have been a perfect game.
Some sound effects have an addictive nature that can inherently be associated with the game.
Sometimes the game will have trouble keeping up with you; the clicking sometimes doesn't go through if you're too fast, leading to frustrating moments standing at doors; or if you do get through before the game is ready, sometimes rooms will be completely dark, as if the lighting engine hasn't realized you're in the room yet, and takes a moment to wake up.
While for someone used to much faster-paced stealth action, Lafcadio's lumbering steps can feel sluggish at first, it's perfectly paced to keep you on your toes; any faster and it would be too easy to do a hundred things in one day.
+Playable with a controller.

Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
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.
