Could, this have been a text based game?

After navigating entire lists of options interviewing people mechanically, I began to wonder, all the work with graphics, just gets in the way?

I liked the graphics personally, I thought it added enough colour and interest without being distracting, and gave a sort of Art Deco feel to the game that echoed the setting. The thing that most bothered me was having to flip back through my notebook after every question - why couldn't it show the same page I was on last?!

I have to agree, the flat graphics are pretty good at creating immersion. I just found that the dialog system gets really grindy and feels like a road rash when you get stuck like I did. The guides are not that clear and so I uninstalled about 1/3 the way along. A pity, because if the publisher had done more testing, they could have fixed the blockage.
