Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
129 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While trailers hinted at a paranormal, Twin Peaks–inspired mystery, the actual story is more lighthearted: humorous, whimsical, and full of endearing characters.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I've played it 3 times already (in both difficulty modes) and I know I will play it many times more.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All text descriptions are fully voiced (very well too), and the pixel graphics are detailed enough to draw you fully into the world where this murder mystery takes place.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Puzzles are mostly logical, character skills feel meaningful, and the progression rewards curiosity and experimentation.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And the voice acting was quite well done for the most part (loved the sheriff/coroner/hotel receptionist in particular), with 1 or 2 mispronounced words here and there or off-pitch sentences (e.g. voiced like a question when it should be an answer).
