Two times in fact, checking for as many possible paths I could.

The death of [REDACTED] seems unavoidable. To get the "best" possible ending, gotta NOT be possessive of Gloria, NOT go with the dubious things (pregnancy pills) Mio wants you to.

Jessica and Kaoru are happier staying friends (couldn't get a happy lovers ending, just a sad lovers ending for them).

It seems like you can screw around with the maids, but probably(?) can't be a dick to Rina (I can imagine her not saving you at the end if you are).

The humour is...interesting. Not for everyone, to put it mildly. Like are players supposed to respond positively to being called coomers or that you suck? Really immature and dickish narration, ngl. 

All in all, it's ultimately the player's choice on how similiar you want to be to the player's dad, and the ending changes for the "better" the more you are different.

I really like how the writing and mechanics stay true to the original series. Great work! 

However, I can understand some of the frustration that many players have. While the infamous three letter acronym doesn't apply here imo, it is somewhat annoying how the player (assuming the role of Phoenix Wright) doesn't get any action, while you have to watch and hear about the CEO's sexual exploits. 

The cards (while a cool collecting minigame) exemplify the sort of vibe I'm getting where while the player/Phoenix can look at ladies who are familiar to us from the series, it is an NPC who gets the sex scenes.

I 100% agree with you that autism isn't something that should make people feel pity. But the jokes iirc, go something like:

1. The interface was designed for people with autism.

2. MC vehemently denies that he is autistic.

3. He is then told "sure buddy, whatever you say ;)"

Maybe it's all going over my head but, basically the punchline is "lol, you must be autistic!". Which is like, okay maybe they are, maybe they aren't, but is it supposed to funny (that someone is autistic)?

Game has been pretty good so far, and has potential to be better. The "interrogations" are a nice mechanic, and having the choice of the type of dynamic you want with Rea is appreciated.

I think the political humor is fine, as the game doesn't even take itself seriously. Regardless though (and I'm prepared to be downvoted to oblivion for this), using autism as the butt of the joke is rather distasteful, ngl.

Replayed Sandstorm and got through a Dark Ravens playthrough, and I want to say great game so far. 

SPOILERS (!):

Torsten is acting very sus; insisting on the raid and giving weapons away for free is really out of character for him.

As the chief, he definitely has the ability to pull off an assassination.  The motive is also there, in that this incident weakens both rival clans through the offing of the Bears' leader and forcing a death tournament, along with removing a potential Ravens' ally who was backstabbed during the raid.

The cliffhanger of how the village is relatively undefended is interesting. Maybe Torsten is working with the guys who betrayed the Jarg?Jorg? fellow (also explaining how he obtained the blade that was planted at the crime scene)? And I believe that he was the one who was quick to accuse Nox of having foreign ties.

Wonder how Katja fits into all of this...
