My favourite in the series so far. The puzzles were engaging without requiring so much effort as to distract from the narrative. I was a bit saddened that this time the combination of notes—a main mechanic of past titles—was abandoned. On one hand, sure, it was very easy to brute force combine everything to see if anything stuck together, but on the other…it was a nice. The "hint" system (asking Joey what to do next) worked very well too, giving just enough information instead of spoiling things.

The story itself was interesting, tying up very nicely with the prequel even as it indicates a way forward that is neither a repetition of what has happened so far, nor provided of actual new information. I am particularly interested in how, at the bottom of it, the series keeps coming back to the idea of communication and the effects of its breakdown.
