The gameplay is praised for its clever detective-swapping mechanics and puzzles that are challenging yet accessible. However, some players found the ability activation via characters' notepads unintuitive and easy to overlook, despite being crucial at times.
“The game mechanics when swapping between the detectives were really clever, and I enjoyed that everything was achievable with a little brain power; nothing was too convoluted.”
“My only complaint was that it took me way too long to realize there was a mechanic to click on each character's notepad to activate their abilities (better sight/better smell).”
“This mechanic didn't pop up much, but it is absolutely vital at times.”
