A potentially dark story that limited itself by being written for kids. Ashley in particular has a pretty weak voice and will oscillate between what feels like her natural voice & an entirely neutral, semi-disinterested observer, which was a major disappointment. Characters also generally behave kind of strangely and the climax of the game felt a bit "just trust me bro". The captain's final conversation & D's farewell did get me right in the emotions, though, and I appreciate that.
I really enjoyed taking photos of setpieces and potential clues & being able to overlay them & rotate them in order to reveal hidden details or codes- a very cool idea that I haven't seen before.
While the game has pretty nice portraits & decent environments overall, its soundtrack & sound effects are lackluster.

Overall, Another Code is a bit greater than the sum of its parts, but it doesn't hold a candle to Hotel Dusk and Last Window.
