  • The game features good graphics, atmospheric artwork, and fitting music that enhance the experience.
  • The story is interesting, especially for those familiar with The Great Gatsby, providing a unique take on the novel.
  • The hidden object scenes and puzzles are generally easy and enjoyable, suitable for beginners and casual players.
  • The game is very short with limited replayability, lasting around 2 to 3 hours for the main story.

  • The voice acting is often criticized as poor or emotionless, and the game suffers from bugs, technical issues, and clunky controls.
  • story
    45 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is an interesting but relatively short and straightforward adaptation of The Great Gatsby, mostly appealing to those familiar with the novel. While it effectively captures key plot points and atmosphere, it is somewhat predictable, shallow, and convenience-driven, with limited depth and no bonus content. Overall, it serves as a decent narrative complement to the hidden object gameplay but may not satisfy those seeking a gripping or comprehensive story experience.

    • “The game starts with and summarizes much of the novel by referencing key plot points through monologues as well as flashback sequences brought by the time piece mechanic.”
    • “You visit locations that are callbacks to the book, and it does a decent job respecting the original story.”
    • “A hidden object game with well-done voice acting and art, and an interesting story—just about all you could ask for in this type of game.”
    • “The conflict of the kidnapping is a classic (if cheap) plot device to bring about a motivation to explore the mansion as quickly as possible.”
    • “The plot is mainly convenience based, as the developers try to connect their modern plot line with the events of the novel.”
    • “Story is very shallow and predictable.”
  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally calming and fitting, contributing to a relaxing atmosphere without being intrusive. While some users found it pleasant and well-suited to the gameplay and story, others noted it was somewhat minimal or uneven in volume, with occasional annoying sound effects. Overall, the soundtrack is good but not standout, complementing the short, easy experience.

    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
    • “Good voice acting, and I really liked the music.”
    • “The music is not intrusive, it's not disturbing.”
    • “As for the music, I noticed it is kind of absent knowing such games are renowned for their great soundtracks.”
    • “Game is short enough for the music not to get annoying but a couple of the sound effects were a bit annoying, volume was a bit all over the place, sound volumes not normalized properly.”
    • “Music = 4/10”
  • atmosphere
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is widely praised for its atmospheric qualities, characterized by a mysterious and sometimes melancholic mood enhanced by night and rain settings. The art style and graphics contribute significantly to this immersive ambiance, though some design choices may affect the overall experience. Overall, the atmosphere is considered a strong and captivating element of the game.

    • “It's sad because this game is gorgeous, perfectly paced, and perfectly atmospheric.”
    • “All this contributes to the mysterious atmosphere in which the inquiry takes place.”
    • “The atmosphere is decent, but some cryptic design decisions force you to rely on the hint system far too much.”
    • “Because of the map, I considered giving it a negative review, but I think it is worth playing if it’s on sale, for the story and atmosphere.”
    • “Story takes place at night and it is raining, so atmosphere can be depressing or mysterious depending on your mood.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features typical mechanics centered around puzzle-solving and a unique time piece mechanic that uses monologues and flashbacks to reference key plot points. It offers an engaging experience, though the overall playtime is relatively short at about two hours.
