This game features a very unique mechanic that prevents you from reading the next part of the story until you've understood what you've read so far. This made the story come to life as I could not skim the text to get the gist of it, as I often do.
This also meant no quarreling with a parser and no dead ends; just reading and re-reading until it was fully understood and the next piece became obvious. Which it did, I finished the whole game without needing any hints - although I was stumped quite a few times.
The story itself is well-written and engaging about an investigation into a dinner party where all the guests met their untimely deaths. The story manages to feel like a classic tale of mystery without being cliché.
Highly recommended.
