Pros
Pro Non-linear storytelling with a structure
Although the story is pieced together through documents scattered around the town, the acts of the story open for each player once they've gotten the information for the act they are currently in. It's great for those who love to research, snoop, and ask questions.

Excellent game, one of my favorites. Looks great graphically and runs smooth. Story was very intruguiging, like playing out a great mystery novel. Great town to explore at free will and at your own pace. Inspect around the town and find clues to the mystery about what happened here and solve the murder case.

If you enjoy piecing together stories and solving mysteries while exploring a small neighborhood/town, you'll love this game. It takes hours and you'll want to take your own notes because outside of an online forum with spoilers, there's no hints or handholding. After all of that, you are reward...
