Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
26 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
Story -- The story itself is clearly the first part of a larger narrative, and the world and character building it established left me intrigued and looking forward to a (hopefully longer, much longer!) follow up -- especially as how the game has two endings, setting up significant differences in how a sequel would proceed.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
Voice Acting -- The voicework is quite well-acted, and manages to deftly walk the line of to nodding to the traditonal film noir dialogue and acting styles, without falling over the edge into over-acted parody.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
10 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
The game has nice, not great, visuals and the Voice Overs are very well done.
