The Portuguese are stopping to honk, so I stopped playing for tonight. I played a major surprise in the story this evening and felt compelled to comment on it and give some feedback. (I just entered a warehouse, to give you an idea on how far I am.)
About the surprise: I wondered about this when I first saw the object which allows you to prove some background of the surprise. It just didn't make sense. I also wondered about the use of a certain object early in the game, but still I was unable to make a connection or anticipate the surprise. I wonder if there are more clues...
So far, I like the game quite a lot. The story and characters are interesting, the puzzles are solvable (not too hard, not too easy) and the graphics and sound are quite nice, too.
There was one puzzle related to retrieving a document which I found a bit annoying, because it took me quite a number of tries to figure out and every try needs some preparation and cooperation between characters.
Twice I progressed thanks to internet help: Once to find out that a certain gadget can make solving a puzzle easy (after I already solved 3 sides by wildly trying *facepalm*) and a second time because I didn't realise there's an area left to the receptionist at the ICU.
I have to confess that I was a bit put off at first when I saw the speech bubbles and only partial voice (character's thoughts are not voiced), but now I think it fits the game well.
So far I can only recommend the game, congratulations to the devs!
