Real-world setting with great attention to detail. Highly original gameplay with a genuine internal clock and truly realistic character behavior. Gripping detective/mystery story. Ultra-stylish graphical design.
And... characters speak in their native languages, with English subtitles. And... they play a whole classical sonata in real time.

But what about the nerve-tickling eavesdropping on characters' conversations, the wandering through the train, hoping to catch the right person, breaking into people's compartments when they are dining in another car, looking through their things, skipping heart beats every time you hear a sound? That's all part of the gameplay :)
The actions sequences and the few puzzles are admittedly not so cool :/
