Lieb es und kanns nur empfehlen zu kaufen! 🤩 Endlich mal kein Open-World-Game sondern "nur" ein kleines Hotel - allerdings passiert in dessen vier Wände so viel das es definitiv nicht langweilig wird! Geh ich jetzt hier nach Hinweisen suchen oder dort? Meine Zeit reicht nichtmehr für alle Hinweise! Vielleicht ist hier noch was versteckt! Sag ich jetzt a oder b und was für Konsequenzen hat das ganze? ....Und warum soll Fall 3 jetzt so viel schwerer werden.....Oh! 😳😂 Das ganze wird abgerundet durch die sehr stimmig Musik, die liebevoll gestalteten (sehr unterschiedlichen) Charaktere und deren Storys! ♥️ Habe soeben das erste Mal das Spiel durch! Bin total begeistert von der Spielzeit und werde nun meine zweite Runde starten, denn zum einen möchte ich wissen was passiert wenn ich anstatt a , b sage und zum anderen habe ich trotz intensiver Suche nicht alle Sammelobjekte gefunden! 🧐
A great love-letter to the Ace Attorney series with a more serious twist and some rather innovative mechanics. The game loses some traction in the last chapter, as it is obvious that the author was under pressure to release it quickly. Nonetheless, the story remains cohesive and is a great read, with many recognizable patterns borrowed from German literature. A good story that recognizes its lineage and attempts to relive the better elements from Umineko with its own lore and context. Looking forward to the true ending arriving soon to put the final puzzle pieces in their proper place!

I absolutely LOVED this game! Played with friends and we had a blast doing everyone's voices. Loved the unique investigating and court room mechanics. If you like this sort of thing, you have to try playing this game! Also, can't wait for the Secret Ending to come out!
This is a unique twist on the lawyer drama type game and I loved it. Sometimes a little long in dialog but it was fun!!!
Amei o jogo do começo ao fim!!! O mistério dele e como ele te encaixa todas as pistas, é muito bem desenvolvido, você consegue ter várias hipóteses do enredo conforme você joga e isso por si só é incrível, você poder ter a possibilidade de solucionar os crime cometidos da maneira que você acha mais adequado. Excelente jogo, excelente história, excelentes personagens, excelente gameplay.
This game is fun and very smartly written. As an Ace Attorney fan, I was having the time of my life... honestly, if you love murder mysteries in general, I would definitely recommend picking this one up!
The first trial feels a lot like it was handing me the win on a silver platter while still being captivating and a challenge. It really makes you think of your options and learn to make them wisely if you don't want to run out of time. I like the game so far; the change in rules from trial 1 to trial 2 was a bit surprising for me and was an interesting choice though, I didn't expect it to change direction so quick. I haven't finished playing yet but from what I've played so far? I definitely recommend it. It reminds me a bit of Danganronpa in some ways while also being completely different in other ways but it has a similar concept of being trapped somewhere with presumably no escape. Main difference investigation wise is that you have more options to question characters with.
Really fun Ace Attorney adjacent game. Definitely wears its influences on its sleeve, Umineko AA. But it does succeed in being its own thing. If you enjoy Murder Mysteries it is well worth it!
