Previous chapters' costumes can be used anytime, so favourites often can be used in multiple chapters, but generally the first time through a chapter, it's best to collect whatever costume the game provides. There is almost always a flying outfit, an outfit with weapons, and outfits with unique talents, such as the fireman whose ladder is needed at certain points to climb up walls, the aerial acrobat that locks on to enemies in mid-air. ![]() There are around eighty costumes to be unlocked, each relating to the chapter content and providing different skills. The non-voiced sections where the chapter's focus is explained could do with being a fraction slower in how quickly they are shown, sometimes it feels a single blink can cause missing parts of it, but they are captivating and really help immerse Emma or Leo into that particular world.

Included in each chapter are two video clips, one showing how the person needing help from Emma or Leo loves their hobby or job and is passionate about it, but due to circumstances outside their control - often by other people not understanding them - their passion becomes their enemy.
