The story is really solid! I just wish the plot could have unfolded a little more organically through dialogue as opposed to finding notes everywhere and having to read diary entries. Puzzles were decent and the mechanics of the game remind me a little of Ghost Trick. One thing that could be greatly improved and probably easy to update - the illustrations of the cinematics. The illustrations look a bit amateur and they dont match the style of the gameplay graphics which appear more refined. Its not a good first impression of the game. You arent animating them anyway, so it would be simple enough to find another illustrator to spruce up the production value. Overall, I am impressed though, and I would buy another game from this company!
