Pros:
-The story (albeit cliche as well as the script) was good enough for you to want to continue to see what happens.
-Puzzle solving was ok. It was fun making connections, however in my opinion was too easy overall. Some aspects having a lack of handholding was nice.
-The base mechanics of finding clues and sorting through useful information was good. I just wish there was more of it and for it to go more in depth.

Cons:
-Stealth mechanic feels primitive and janky. It has its use story-wise but I felt it was more annoying than anything and detracted from a more enjoyable experience. This is offset a bit with the checkpoint system which I feel is its saving grace in this respect.
-Environment and freedom is bare bones. Pretty much everything is on rails. I would have liked to have seen more things to discover and do.
-The price vs. gameplay value is much too high. Much too high.

In closing:
There is a great potential here to use the mechanics to make a much fuller game, with more clues and puzzle solving, a different type of story that comes along with more choices, freedom, and outcomes. Mechanics introduced like lockpicking I feel like could have a much greater impact on gameplay and use. Overall a decent enough experience that only takes ~3hr to complete. Just a little too pricey for what this delivers. Hopefully funding secured from this will produce a much larger and more valuable experience for the next go. For now, mostly due to pricing ($26CDN), I cannot recommend.

One of my all time favourite games. The type of game you always find yourself going back to time and again. If you're into the genre, I 100% recommend the purchase of this game.
