It would be nice if any of this worked. The puzzles are neat, but they're neither compelling enough narratively or mechanically to be the main driver of the story, as opposed to a game like Murder By Numbers wherein dull picrosses were pulled forward by a charming mystery-comedy romp. Here the general tone is maudlin macho Takenism, sitting through dull text conversations to find out dull plot revelations while in the interim suffering through horrendous art direction, as this team never met a visual asset problem it couldn't solve with stock photos and a hastily applied Posterize filter. Every aspect of this game gives the feeling that it expects another part to pick up its slack, and when none of them do, the rope flies right away.
