Really interesting concept but I don't understand how anyone could have missed the issues with the dialog box. Some of the dialog is sometimes incomplete because it does not fit correctly within the dialog box. Surely by this point, a fix should be in place. Update: The discord is dead. No update since Aug last year. Not a word from the Devs - STAY AWAY

You think Ace Attorney is too linear since you will either say the right thing or have to restart the savefile? Wanna be able to choose who to talk to, prepare arguments and what to say depending on the jurors, and to call certain witnesses you find interesting? This is your game.

No save feature, so enjoy starting from the very beginning of this DIALOG HEAVY game if you mess up and believe me, with jury members marked "logical" who don't actually like logical arguments, you will have to. The tutorial tries to rush you while not actually explaining everything you NEED to know. Some of the text is actually cut off in some areas too.

Great idea, but game has been abandoned before it is complete

Game was abandoned shortly after the release. It does have some interesting things going for it, but ultimately it's an unpolished gem sitting in a pile of shite. Play a demo, I guess - you wont miss much from the main game.

A lot of potential but not it bugs and a lack of UI and QOL features hamper it. Not to mention the gameplay mechanics being slightly confusing. The "hack" mechanic should be completely removed imo. Just let me focus on the argument and not some sort of weird resource management jury tampering game. The premise is very solid and novel, so I hope to update my review once more fixes and changes roll out.

I want to recommend this game but I just can't. It's a really interesting concept spoiled by game-breaking bugs.

Now, I haven't played much of this game yet- I've only just done the first case, the tutorial, and even then not fully. I like this. It has the bones of something really interesting, and some really interesting concepts going on. I like that you investigate yourself, I like the evidence-gathering, interviewing witnesses. I really like the cross-examination. I don't like the jury parts; to explain, you have several 'powers' you can use to influence the jury. This far in, it all seems a little random, and I'm not really sure how, if at all, my clicking changed things. Also, in no part of the previous part of the game were they ever mentioned or explained, and it would help so much if they had been. For the most part, the writing is good and solid, but the courtroom part of the case is, honestly, a mess. The prosecutor- who is called 'the defence' (pretty sure I'm the defence?)- was called 'she' at almost every point they were referred to, until they inexplicably became 'he' for I thin...

Pretty good so far. There are some clerical errors that will get ironed out in patching, but nothing too distracting in the cases released so far. I really like the stats- and contacts-based dialog options mixed with personal observations by the player character, a la older D&D dialog trees and Disco Elysium. The dialog isn't as colorful or narratively complex as the latter example, but what's here is good, anticipated my own reactions well, was enjoyable to read, and built on itself into a complete picture of each case that I could work with in the court sections. Not sure how I feel about the jury sentiment system yet. It works well in helping me form my arguments in non-linear fashion, which makes each case replayable even when you know all of its dialog elements (definitely a good thing here!). But due to changes in sentiment being color-coded (I have mild color-blindness) and actions by the opposing counsel being somewhat difficult to interpret, I felt more at the mercy of rando...

Being an attorney is hard,
