I liked the graphics very much. Music and voices were decent. I am a big fan of detective stories, but this is very loosely in that category to be sure. The developers go in about 17 different directions in relation to plot. The ending is a bit of an odd cliffhanger as mentioned, though I suppose it might be addressed in the collector's edition. Also, the game is pretty easy. Hints can be collected at any time and all minigames can be bypassed quickly. Objects go into your inventory to be used about ten seconds later. Overall, I think it has promise as a series, but it's questionable whether I'd recommend this one.
