What players think
The recurring themes across 107 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
True, the game auto-saves quite frequently (whenever you change screens and after each dialogue, if I recall correctly) so I can understand the choice perhaps coming from forcing the player to live with the decisions you make in gameplay and story, but being dependant on one single save file in case of a little misstep, or good old corruption, makes my head spin.
Some NPCs are done in animated 2D and while it was admittedly from budgetary constrains it creates a unique blend along with the subdued colors and BEAUTIFUL soundtrack. 1888s Whitechappel in all its seediness and depressive glory.
Visuals are a beautiful blend of 2D backgrounds and 3D characters and objects.
As far as the positives, there’s nice diversity of elements like combat sequences being tied to mouse-click timing.
Theme by theme
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.
