TLDR: I really enjoyed this game and I totally wish it would get a season 2 because it had potential. It's not perfect but I feel like if you enjoyed say Gabriel Knight you will enjoy this even if it's not quite as good. Here's an extended breakdown.

Voice Acting and Sound: Voice acting is pretty decent on the whole. Erica is supposed to have a Boston accent but most of the time it's not there and when it is it's not very authentic but outside of that she delivers her lines well enough. The supporting cast is all good to great as well except for the person who plays Rose. They're terrible and i lost count of how many times they called Erica "My Dear." Music is very much on point. Sound effects, they didn't leave too much of an impression, so I'm going to say they were fine. That ending theme is a stand out, really sets the tone for the entire series.

Story and Script: The story is a good bit of Sci fi Horror goodness. Pretty heavy and dark and definitely for a mature audience. I don't want to spoil anything but like I said, it reminded me a but of Gabriel Knight, not as good but still in the same vein. I feel like a lot of the twists were pretty obvious but that didn't necessarily make them bad. What I don't love, is that you cannot really guess at what's really going on in the first episode. There are characters and story elements not really introduced until ep3 that keep you from being able to puzzle it out or be super clever which kind of sucks The script was, a bit awkward in places but mostly fine. And where it wasn't the voice actors held it together on delivery most of the time. But there were some moments where a line flops and suddenly theres an accent and you just...you really remember this is a budget title.

Visuals and animation: On the whole I liked the visual style. Obviously the comic book/ graphic novel panels and cut scenes were the best part but even the in game awkward visuals have charm. The animations are in fact a joke though half of the time. In around ep 3 Erica starts to do this really slow stuttery turn and walk and it was very irritating. I don't know why it started halfway through the season and had no idea how to stop it. Also putting giant things into your inventory and having them straight up shrink and disappear was funny. Visual tone was great but animation quality again shows you this thing is a budget title. If you've played older adventure games or other budget titles you should be able to look past it.

Gameplay: The most important part. Erica has these powers, that you get a trickle of over the episodes. 1 or 2 an episode or you just get to see them used in new ways. It makes puzzle solving more complex and in most circumstances that's good. But there's always at least a puzzle an episode where I'm really just like, "how the hell was i supposed to know that?" I definitely needed to use a walkthrough because there are times where the game is just too obtuse even using the hint system. Maybe that's just me, i admit to not being very clever and not wanting to spend too long trying to figure things out. Too many games to spend hours stuck on something. Pretty standard adventure gameplay here, inventory puzzles and looking for things to click on. Thankfully they have a feature that highlights all clickable spots on screen so pixel hunting isn't a thing.

The biggest issue is the quick time like events that occasionally pop up. They're completely random, some timed with no way to save. You just have to click the right thing in the right order to progress. They're bad and they add NOTHING to the game. If you're going to do that don't give the player multiple options with no hint as to which is correct. A proper QTE has a button prompt, push it in time, thats it, take the Walking Dead as an example. I know people aren't fans of them but i don't mind them as a tactic to keep you paying attention to what's happening. If you have decent reflexes and are paying attention, when properly done they should not be a problem for anyone to get on their first try, if they are you're doing them WRONG. It breaks up the flow of the narrative and leaves you frustrated. They were a misstep and came at some very crucial moments of the story completely pulling me out of the drama. But they don't happen too often.

On the whole I loved this game for its jank as much as everything it got right. It's a flawed gem that didn't get the recognition it deserved and I really wish it had sold better so we got another season where they could fix the flaws i pointed out. But it was an imperfect title in an already niche genre made by a small studio. It's doomed to obscurity as so many games of it's ilk which is a shame because the universe and the character of Erica herself, had a lot of game left in them.
