This game is worth the price for the following reasons alone;
This game is worth the price for the following reasons alone; • The voice acting is stellar. The English characters speak English (and/or Mandarin with a thick accent) and vice versa. Very immersive. I don't speak Mandarin but I assume it's just as good or better than the English. • The localization isn't perfect. Far from it. But no mistakes are glaring enough to detract from enjoying the game. (The developer offers to work on it when given feedback through E-mail, but there's honestly too many MINOR errors to really list it all off in a single e-mail. I would gladly correct the erroneous text if provided with a complete dialog file, though! Hit me up. Making this already great game even better is worth it to me.) • The game plays great and the 'who-dun-it' riddles are very well written. • Dialog (ignoring the translation errors) is fantastic. • As opposed to many other Chinese games on the market, there is very little CCP propaganda. It didn't rear up its head until the end credits, and it was very minor. I can recommend this game to anyone who likes the following: • Ace Attorney games or similar. • Logic puzzles. • Educational content. • A good overarching plot. • Unraveling a mystery. All in all, the game will entertain you for about 12-15 hours if you're playing leisurely. Each of the 6 chapters should last you about 2-3 hours. My playtime is ballooned due to leaving the game running while I was away. Oops. I'm very hard to please, but this title was worth every penny.

Hard to put down
So far I have only played Case 1 of the demo, which is in English, and loved it so much that I went straight to purchase the full game hopeful that it was actually in English. Devs are estimating that the English version will be released in March so, for now, I'll wait until it's released. Based off the demo this game is a must if you're a fan of Ace Attorney, I'm very excited to play the full version next month!

Absolutely loved it
Absolutely loved it. Writing is good, for the most part finding the right answer is possible within reason (even if I didn't in many cases, it made sense in retrospective), and the few occasions that required slightly more far-fetched reasoning were not experience-breaking. The game is also very forgiving, you barely have to redo anything when you "die" and retry. There is a surprising diversity of mechanics, some are similar, some are not as great as others, but none of them drag for long nor become drilling or repetitive. Personally, I think the best part of the game is the depth of the historical context, not just the little notes of historical information you get from time to time (which are great), but how that context is part of the plot and is reflected in the various (and also fairly diverse) characters in the story. The complexity and detail in the steel foundry setting was fascinating. The weakest point may be the English translation. It's not terrible by any means, but it generally takes the same style as the subtitles of Asian TV shows, if you have ever watched any of that. It's fine and understandable, but has certain mannerisms that are just not usually seen in common dialogue in English. It also had a few mistakes, although fairly minor. Played it through on my Steam Deck with no issues or bugs whatsoever.
