Burden of Truth

A much better game than the first. While there are still some issues with the visuals (I don't like the way the eyes blink on everyone), the visuals are appealing and stylized enough to be easy to look at. But what matters most is the writing. Each case is more compelling and interesting than the first game. There are some quirks that require you to not think too much about the physics of the murder, but it not enough to break the mystery. The core of each mystery does enough to give depth. The demo contains the first case and is a good way to judge the writing. My only issue with the writing is the 4th breaking and self-aware jokes. But I also don't care for it in Banjo Kazooie and Yooka-Laylee, so this could be a personal thing. Never in my life did I ever expect to see "poggers" in a murder mystery game, but this game did. I haven't finished it, but I do want to replay the first game just to see how the two connect.

Neat indie game with cool story moments. Developer's insane for composing all the music themselves, sounds awesome!!

Pretty solid despite its clear budget issues. I really like that the game doesn't penalize you for getting things a little wrong by giving you hints for using the ultimately wrong, but understandable evidence choices. The writing's quite well done, though the joke of "this game has no budget and is created by a self-deprecating developer!" gets used a bit much. Please, you did quite well using very little. That's quite noteworthy, man. There's also a bit of an issue when it comes to how it ends because it's a pretty massive cliffhanger which feels kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to end a game on. However, the game manages to do a good job job adapting the Ace Attorney trial system in a way that feels like an improvement while having a pretty good story on the side. If my main complaint is that things ended when it started to get real good, that's pretty telling on what I think the rest of the game is like.

I loved it. Conrad Cross is too good for this world.

Polished up follow up to Burden of Proof mostly focusing on the chapter that sorta gets glanced over there.

A technically intermediary between the events of the first game, this primarily a single case that spans across multiple trials and events, making it quite different from similar games. The same dry humour and fourth wall-breaking events as the last game, and just as fun to play. The graphics even got upgraded from "comically bad" to "slightly above a knock-off mobile game" which is nice. Most rooms are still far larger than they ever would be irl and act more as facsimiles to give the impression of a real-world space rather than trying to be one themselves, but it's fun.

Oh my God So I just completed this game after streaming this for 4 straight streams. I played Ace Attorney & other inspired games before including Burden of Proof, so I'm definitely experienced with this awesome genre. I thouroughly enjoyed my time with this game while thinking super hard at finding the contradictions, and I made it even more fun by playing the Ace Attorney music during a lot of the court moments. At the second to last case you got me with the false ending which was a nice surprise. BUT THEN, at the final level, just when things starting to heat up, the game did something I NEVER thought possible: IT ENDED WITH A CLIFFHANGER! NOOOOOOOOOOOO I WANT TO SEE HOW THIS STORY ENDS!! I have never played another Ace Attorney esque game that ended before it finished the story before! Please let me know when I can expect the final - final chapter, I must see how this epic story concludes DX
