好游戏,虽然借鉴了很多,但也做出了国单自己的风格和叙事,喜欢文字推理类的绝对可以支持一波,希望有续作
难度适中,整体的节奏很好,也能感到制作组的情怀,绝对值得购入的优秀游戏。
主角最大的特点就是智商正常,反派没有正常的清理案发现场的手段,最后的家国情怀更是难崩,虚空瞄靶,故弄玄虚,人物崩坏; 民族情怀属于附加菜,但你连推理主菜都没做好。

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

休闲又好玩
非常好的游戏,确实是一部很适合中国宝宝的解密游戏,故事里的背景情怀很加分
It's cute. I think this is especially good for younger audiences. I wonder if an older audience may find it a little ... lacking(?) BUT the story ties up very nicely at the end, the overall theme is explored well. It could use a tiny bit more polishing though. I think this is a good game to play before you play the ace attorney original trilogy games or attorney of the arcane (I might suggest playing attorney of the arcane after this but before AA OrigTrig. both this and attorney of the arcane are more forgiving and i would say somewhat more straight forward than some of the hardest cases in AA-OT.) but this is a GREAT introduction to the detective visual novel genre. There are points where i think the suspense and creepiness are very effective which i think is maybe the most engaging element to these kinds of games. I think without that pang of anxiety every so often these games would fall flat. So all in all the developers did a good job with story. However, I think the localization for english could use another go through. There are some phrasing issues and some minor details that i think would be beneficial for the overall experience if they were to to go through another round of editing. They're not egregious enough to make you stop playing but still i think it would be helpful overall to iron some minor things out. I didn't take notes on these things until the end of the game so these are just whats fresh on my mind having just finished it. From least to most important: - When you're cross examining someone i think the question button should be changed to confront because i thought with "question" we were just pressing them (very minor wouldn't make a big difference since you have to present evidence once you click it, but if i were polishing this that is what i would do.) - some grammatical/continuity editing throughout for instance this is not really a spoiler but ill mark it anyway: in the last case <spoiler> theres a phrase where the words "confusion" and "depression" (or maybe it was sadness or something) should probably be switched. and there is an instance where someones testimony mixes up dates and then the defense also says the wrong date directly after you present the evidence that they got the dates wrong </spoiler> - there is a point in the last case where people are talking slightly off screen and you can't read the text bubbles above them because it is cut off and the camera is on the playable character which actually turns out to be good info that you don't get and i don't think that is on purpose, (possibly because of the formatting differences between languages?) - there are times where the phrasing is confusing and led me to misunderstand the question like in (this is not the best example but its the one i remember) <spoiler> the boat case they mean to say what is the common thread that ties these two events together and they just say "what is the motive" when i believe at that point we haven't established the motive yet, just the modus operandi. i think they do say modus operandi a couple lines earlier but it still made me a little confused at the time </spoiler> All in all though super SOLID story and a powerful overall theme. I think that at the end of it the way the theme ties all the cases together is what really made me appreciate the overall story because it's an issue that still deeply effects us today and I don't feel like I've seen a game make it their thesis statement in this way before. I feel like it's usually more of a background element and not so often the moral at the end of the story. And it's done in a way that makes you respect the seriousness of the big picture that I feel like is not successfully done or followed through on often.
This game is sooooo good, the cases are fun and interesting to solve and makes you actually use your brain when solving and doing debates. Also allows you to get hints if you get frustrated or stuck. Every case feels very unique and the characters are all very different in their own way. This game has a ton of content and an amazing ending with an insane amount of twists and turns and will have you guessing until the very end. Truly wish there was a another game around these characters and solving more cases.
良心之作~~~
真的牛逼,因为各种原因买了很久,但是在6月26号才玩到了结局,今天手机一直收到国际禁毒日的短信,看到结局的时候真的头皮发麻,就像冥冥之中注定。
是个故事,还可以
