The story is fantastic and while I guessed the ending fairly early it was still a fun journey.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
121 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics in The Fidelio Incident were flat out stunning where they weren't designed to be gloomy, and where they were, the level of detail was spectacular regardless.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
119 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A dramatic story isn't necessarily a revelation, but a walking simulator where you hope to be rescued at the same time that you are trying to avoid anybody knowing who you are is definitely a new twist in this genre, and having the professional voice acting talent to support the project is also a nice feature.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Beyond that, the other audio was also on point, but the voice acting and music put their stamp on The Fidelio Incident and elevated the game to a level that most contemporaries will find difficulty reaching.
