The presentation of the game is really something else, and it screams its purpose: take me seriously. This is not a happy adventure where you try to find your family’s lost heirloom; this is a crime investigation, and you are going into the depths of it.
The title screen alone makes a good show of this, with its detailed menus. The color palette is grayish and dark, with the mood on the low side. That being said, this is one of the most animated Hidden Object games you can find, since when you press play you are treated to an intro cutscene, including a 3D animation depicting the story. Most of the game is rendered in 2D, but these scenes of three dimensions are in plenty of pivotal scenes, making one really invested in the plot. The art direction is simply amazing and it carries through the game from beginning to end.
