Soundtrack is Hungarian Dance no 5 by Brahms and bombs are falling in rhythm with percussions while machine gun fire is in rhythm with drums. For example, there's a segment where a zeppelin is bombing Anna's taxi with Emile and Freddie (and Dog) onboard. Soundtrack is marvelous and the music even uses sound effects from the game. There are very few spoken segments in the game and the majority of dialogue is visualized, there were a few monologues, but the main speaking role is that of the narrator. It's a highly stylized game which doesn't strive to show life like graphics or have dozens of voice-actors.

Really, there isn't all that much to say about the controls and mechanics they work, they're quite easy and they move out of the way to allow the player to focus on the important bits. Hints are available every 60 seconds and the last hint gives you the solution to a puzzle if you fail to solve it. There were a few moments when I was stuck trying to solve a puzzle, but the hint system is nicely incorporated. Progression is based on solving some reasonably easy puzzles. In any other game it would have been a bad thing, but here it lets you "enjoy" the visuals and the setting. Gameplay is pretty simple go there, pull that lever, spin this valve, etc. The dog shown in the trailer belongs to a German corpsman and helps you during the majority of the game. You will control a different character during different chapters with only one short chapter switching controls between two characters. He was forced to leave France in 1914 and leave his wife and son behind. Karl is a German married to Emile's daughter. Freddie is an American who volunteered to join French army in 1914 after his wife was killed in a bombing (I think of Paris) and he's good with wire-cutters. Emile is a farmer mobilized at the beginning of the war whose specialty is digging. Anna is a Belgian student living in Paris who volunteers for medical corps and while playing as her, you'll be healing soldiers with the mantra "a single life saved is a small victory against war". Game is centered around four characters Anna, Emile, Freddie and Karl each with their own unique backstory, motivation and gameplay elements.
