An Excellent if Flawed Investigation
This is undeniably Benoit Sokal (Syberia) from the art deco buildings to the lush but bleak landscapes and quirky characters going about their lives. Know what you're getting into here: this is NOT a traditional point and click game. You will be gathering evidence and combining items, but more often you will be comparing testimonies, checking fingerprints and footprints and comparing them to the suspects who follow little schedules all across the island. It's pretty open ended: ask anyone anything anytime until you get the answer you need to progress. There's some pretty deep lore about the hotel and the people you will need to read carefully to understand the nuances at play. But some things do come across as a bit arbitrary. I was stuck on the beach until I realized I wasn't supposed to gather evidence or make up my mind about the crime scene, I was ONLY supposed to determine if there was anything to suggest foul play and then send the info to my personal computer. You will get into some situations where you think ahead of the game but if you keep an eye on the specific question you're supposed to answer in every section you should be oriented correctly to follow up the trail of clues and testimonies. Another little issue is you do a LOT of running around. You're going to go back and forth constantly so it's a good thing the landscape it pretty. There's some niggling issues with evidence seemingly obvious but it taking multiple checks to verify and there's the issue you'll notice that characters do not move their lips in conversations, but this didn't completely destroy the mystique and the joy of discovery and investigation this game has to offer I think. Don't go in expecting either Frogware or Syberia. This is a different beast of talking, comparing, and exploring to your heart's content (especially if you turn off the time limit!)
