Story

158 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What I really like about this game are also the characters and their lore!
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It may be a bit shorter than the original, but the branching story lines leave a lot to be discovered, allowing for a lot of replayability (though by the end it can feel tedious trying to reveal everything).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The Game Soundtrack is genuinely really good and captures the atmosphere exceptionally well!
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has a simplistic interface that allows you to look at various things easily with easy-to-learn controls.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think the difficulty is good because skilled investigators should be rewarded and they wouldn't be if the game were so easy that every player could find the most in-depth storylines.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love the story it tells, the art style, the VA work, the music
