1* AllStarCast: It's rather astonishing how many A-list actors this FMV game managed to attract. Creator/ChristopherWalken, Creator/BurgessMeredith, Creator/KarenAllen, and Creator/JohnRhysDavies all get top billing. Creator/PaulGiamatti is also in this, but this was back when he was an unknown NYC actor.
2* FakeBrit: The fake Cockney accents from Falconetti's recording of their last session in Whitechapel are particularly painful. Best shown in the mangled pronounciation of "Spitalfields" (Spit-al-fields) as ''Spy-del-fields''.
3* MoneyDearBoy: The most probable motivation behind the actors in this game. Particularly sad in Creator/BurgessMeredith's case, since this was his last role before he died.
4* MultiDiscWork: It has six discs, each one having a screenshot that's also used on the back cover.
5* PlayingTheirOwnTwin: Creator/BurgessMeredith pulls double duty playing twin brothers.
6* RealitySubtext: Covington Wofford looks to be in a very fragile state of mind thanks to the death of his twin brother Hamilton, and Quinlan has to occasionally guide him through the conversation to keep him from getting confused. At the time of production, Burgess Meredith was actually suffering from Alzheimer's Disease and in other productions from around this time (like ''Film/GrumpierOldMen''), he needed to be coached through his scenes.
