Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The game is simply splendid, there are all the features I am looking for in a point-and-click game: intriguing story and atmosphere, well-drawn characters, dialogues with the right touch of irony, minimal user interface and well aligned to the context (the diary is awesome!), appropriate and engaging soundtrack and finally the touch of genius of the issue of notes and singing (I do not add anything else to avoid spoilers).
