It's been a while, but I remember really loving this. There were a few points that I don't think were explained well, unless I really just wasn't paying attention - e.g. Cole's affair with Elsa being revealed, which I initially thought he was being framed for and was both confused and frustrated about why he was just accepting being fired over it. I also think it's silly to set that up as a reveal when the game never bothered to show us Cole's wife and family, or even really mention them, so there was zero investment in that relationship.

Aside from that, though, I loved the atmosphere, the characters were interesting, most of the twists were engaging, and I actually had a lot of fun with the gameplay and the cases themselves. Even when it did get repetitive, I found it a pretty enjoyable little routine to fall into until the next plot swerve occurred.

I'll need to replay this someday to get a clearer and more up-to-date impression of it, so watch this space.
