This is honestly one of the best point and click games I've played and thats having played a lot of Telltale's content. The story is very complex and interesting and one of the best I've seen in a mystery. Fair warning, it does start out a little slow so be prepared to have to play through the first and second episodes at least for the tutorial to stop and the overarching plot to pick up

I say tutorial... It doesn't really have much for a designated tutorial. The beginning of the game serves as a basic tutorial that shows you stuff like how to move, how to operate the UI, and the follower system, which is only really used like 2 times after that so I really don't know why they bothered to introduce it.

What really sets this game apart from other point and click games are the Cognition and Cell Phone features that provide a lot more options than your typical 'look' and 'use'.

- The Cognition ability is the main characters psychic ability that serves an integral part in solving puzzles but is more than just touching an item and getting a vision. In fact, there are four different abilities that the game requires you to use that can be a lot more demanding whether they require you to analyze multiple items in the scene or look into someone's thoughts.

- The Cell Phone has multiple features such as a "web browser" and other typical smart phone tropes that are integrated into puzzles pretty creatively but don't see much frequent use. The most used feature that I garuntee everyone will be using at least once is the hint system which is in the form of text messages. While there were some hints that werent very helpful, they always seemed to fit the difficulty of the situation. Ie. if the objective is just find something in a room and it turns out it's just on a shelf but I was to stupid to realize it, the hint might be something like "Did you thoroughly check the room you idiot?". On the flip side, if I'm stuck on an actually challenging puzzle it will give me something helpful.

Looking at the puzzles, none of them seemed to far fetched if you actually take the time to absorb all the information the game gives you, unlike me. After asking the game for a hint, I often realized that the answer, though not easy to obtain, was never overly cryptic.

Looking at this game from a purely spec standpoint is when people may start to judge it.

- The voice acting is good in most cases but the main problem is the main voice actor trying to put on a bostonian accent that seems to come and go. Not to say that she's bad, she just seems a little confused.

- The most glaring problem is with the animations which include wierd walking cycles and janky interactions with characters and items. Mouth movements are also extrememly limited and look like the people can barely move their lips. However, being the person I am, I did enjoy the couple weird glitches that caught me off gaurd.

- The best thing in this aspect is the soundtrack which does a pretty good job setting the tone and even drove me look up some the songs youtube I liked them so much (Though to no evail sadly).

OVERALL: If you are into story based games than you will be way into this but if you're someone who's set off by any technical problems then you may end up feeling buyers remorse 10 minutes in..
