Explanation to Negative Feedback
Two different cases
Yeah, so our main case we’ve been called in for, of course, is to find out who the salami bandit is, and it gets a little confusing further in because we get on another case of another illegal doing.
Like, we figure that one out, but end up shrugging it off because it’s not our main objective.
So I’m left wondering why that scenario was there in the first place? Was it just to drag out the game a bit more? The conclusion to it was just not satisfactory.
Explanation to Positive Feedback
No penalty for wrong conclusions
Nope, it just tells you a number of the answers that might be wrong and it’s up to you to figure out which of the word placements are wrong. After a while it gets easy to decipher the wrong words from the right ones, but the game never pushes you to do better with your guesses.
Also, if you’re tired of trying to guess, the game tells you how to get a hint for it, but I never used the option.
Fully voice acted
Everyone did such a great job with their characters, especially Laura, who has to do most of the damage control in regards to customer service.
You can tell that a lot of people aren’t happy here, going by their voices and interactions.
Well, except Freddy.
He’s pretty happy, despite the predicament.
Cute artwork
I mean, I fell in love with it when I first saw Laura.
This is the first game I’ve played with characters that have a paper cut-out style to them. And when you walk around, you can interact with some objects in the environment, such as bottles, trash cans, piles of leaves.
I love little touches like this.
The characters look good, the noir touches at the start of scenes, and even the clips of figuring things out is drawn so well.
