It's been around a year since I last commented and I still play this game nonstop! It is absolutely beautiful, and I love catching small details in the art; it makes the space feel so well lived in and real!! I also can not stop recommending it to people I know! I always say if someone likes ace attorney [like me] they'll LOVE this game!! and so far I have been correct, even if it's just people watching me play it or otherwise!! SO much love from me, this work is so much fun to go through over and over again, you all did amazing!

Hats off to the team, from the premise, the visuals, the gameplay, really impressive. And such a challenge... turns out it's hard to trick the police. 

Can't trick Eva Dence :D

It's such a pleasure to watch you interact with our little world, so glad you enjoyed it!

She is good at her job. Unfortunately... :)
