An amazing fantasy mystery that encapsulates the chaos of ace attorney with a solid mystery that knows how to reveal enough information to be solvable without being immediately obvious. The two detectives are lovable and chaotic despite the bickering. They're queer and campy, like Jesse and James from Pokemon but magical and French.

Though currently in the "investigation" stage, the To-Be-Continued felt satisfying because the mystery itself has many threads and a clever narrative.  It was extra cool to enter my own hypothesis. It takes the strengths of the Ace Attorney series (pun names, wordplay, fantasy, deduction and reasoning) in a way that feels unique.

It's biggest flaw is a dehumanizing character named "The Whispering Hobo", but one can mentally reword that name to "The Whispering Man" and enjoy the game.


TW: Cruelty and dehumanization of a homeless person/person experiencing housing insecurity/unhoused person (Hobo), minor parallels to drug addiction (junkie), & police threatening a dark-skinned Arab person with a gun.

CW: swearing, some out-of-pocket threats, minor elements of a potentially unreliable narrator/gaslighting, gun (no visual or visceral depictions of gore), suspicious drinks that might be drugged, drunkenness, & people playfully threatening physical violence.

Reminder! CW and TW are not there to stop people from enjoying the game, just a disability justice (and intersectional) way to acknowledge the common struggles marginalized people experience so they can choose if they want to enjoy this media.
TW: Trigger Warning, things that commonly trigger a lot of people who have experienced trauma. This includes well-documented harmful stereotypes against marginalized people (consensus).

CW: Content Warning, things that could be traumatic due to life experiences/trauma. While there is no "wrong" thing for a person to be traumatized by, these are intentionally common issues that people can be prepared for so the surprise doesn't ruin the experience.
