Clues are scattered in places you might otherwise overlook, and the fun comes from working out how scraps of testimony, locations, and personal motives fit together. The station has enough odd characters and hand-drawn detail to make wandering around feel worthwhile rather than just a way to reach the next clue.
Outside the investigation, jobs and exploration bring in cash for decorating your room and stocking the aquarium. The pace stays fairly relaxed, with some wonderfully strange discoveries along the way. Full version unlocked, with the complete investigation ready to play.
