What players say
Players compare it to Her Story for its keyword-based archive searching, but many say the system can be frustrating with random keywords needed. French voice acting and some translation problems divide opinion, while others praise the 1930s atmosphere and black-and-white visuals. The overall experience is considered short and intriguing, though some find the acting stiff.
