Samuel Prince Attorney at Law Chapter 1

Just finished chapter 1. I'm a big Ace Attorney fan and this game is...basically an Ace Attorney clone. Not that that's such a bad thing. Though it definitely seemed to lack polish in certain areas. My main two complaints are that, first, the text regularly cuts off, continuing onto an invisible fourth line, so I was unable to read them in full. It didn't break the game as it was usually only one or two words, but it was frequent enough to be noticeable. And second, I got a guilty verdict during the final cross-examination, and the game autosaved just before, so I had to start the entire case over from the beginning (since there's actually a hidden pause menu to save the game I didn't know about; you have to press Esc), and there's no real option to speed up text. Even the "much faster" option isn't really noticeably faster than "normal". Some of the puzzles also seemed a bit too simple and obvious. Some glaring contradictions weren't addressed at all until significantly after I noticed them. The story seems pretty interesting, though. I may buy chapter 2 and continue playing; there certainly seem to be worse ways to spend five bucks. And hey, chapter 1 is free, and it's more than worth an hour or two of your time. Also, the music is surprisingly catchy sometimes. Voice acting could have used more energy, though. The art is obviously not professional-grade but charming for what it is.
