Strengths

It resolves much of the setup and character backstories carried over from the previous games and concludes the trilogy.
Its structure of uncovering the story through choices and piecing together multiple endings and fragments creates strong immersion and encourages deduction.
Many players find the twists and ending impressive as the full picture of the events comes together in the latter half.

Weaknesses

Most of the early game is presented as fragment selections in a scrambled chronological order, making it difficult to understand what to do first.
Text cannot be advanced until the voice playback ends, making it feel more like watching an animation than playing a visual novel.
The number and quality of puzzles are lower than in the previous game, and some puzzles are repetitive or overly strict about click detection and the time allowed for valid actions.
